NORM BRODSKY + BO BURLINGHAM – The Knack
Sep 29 2008
The Right Stuff – doing wrong stuff, re-examine, fix it, and get it right.
Numbers run the business, not people.
• Share numbers with your people
• Teach your people how the numbers related to their job
• Teach anybody anything
We DON’T train our employees well enough (which is why we create needless rules)
Practice learning, Practice courtesy
Speaker, Norm Brodsky, greeting people at the door
Hand-written note
Exposing entire life & numbers -> Share with employees – profit sharing culture is huge
Business is not democracy; Fair & just rules
Deal-making is not something everybody can do – but you can teach them numbers
Do a life plan
Professional Management- drill down into the detailed financial metrics, etc.
Entrepreneur- have a feel for the biz, closer
Audience:

Blazer Tickets
We take care of employees, customers, partners, but NOT OURSELVES
Build your business plan around your life plan
