Richard Fleming, European Head of Restructuring at Alvarez & Marsal, and Margaret Cameron-Waller, Associate Consultant at Source, caught up with Emma Carroll, Source's Head of Content, on the latest episode of our The Future of the Firm podcast.  Richard and Margaret shared their insight on the following matters and more:   Hotspots for restructuring work currently include Germany, France, the UK and Nordics. When looking at sectors there's activity in real estate, housebuilding, the automotive supply chain, and anything with a strong consumer focus.  Early signs of trouble are a drop off in demand, liquidity pressures, and a lack of financial discipline.   We discuss parallels between tech businesses that are in trouble today and those during the dot.com crisis, including the risk of large amounts of money being made readily available to creative, tech businesses where the financial acumen available in leadership teams doesn't support the weight of the investment being made.  Changes in the restructuring market itself, including spinouts from the Big Four, and how this has affected clients and competition.   What clients are looking for when they choose a restructuring firm, including regulatory knowledge, restructuring creativity, great stakeholder management, reputation, the appropriate scale, and cost.   Plus, Richard shares his experience of restructuring a critical healthcare business just as COVID lockdowns hit.   If you enjoyed this conversation, don't miss our sister podcast, Business Leader's Voice. In our latest episode, we debate whether organisations have pursued the cult of leadership to such an extent that they have forgotten how to manage.

This year has undeniably been dominated by the rise of AI, bringing both positive and negative outcomes. We host Alex Mead, Global Customer Service Experience Director of Alvarez & Marsal (alexmead@sky.com), to discuss this crucial topic and its implications for experiences.    Mead envisions that AI will significantly reduce customer effort in their experiences. He anticipates a future where customers can simply ask, "Where's my order from two days ago?" and that's all it takes for AI to swiftly provide the desired information.   In this scenario, Mead highlights two crucial aspects. First, AI will grasp natural language interfaces, a concept that has been evolving for at least the past three years. This means we can communicate with AI as if we're conversing with a human, whether through speech or text. Second, AI will promptly authenticate the speaker and retrieve the requested information, cross-referencing it against various data points and platforms in under a second.   Some of you might be thinking, "Don't we already do this with devices like Alexa?" You certainly do, and it works seamlessly.    However, Mead emphasizes that the significance lies in the widespread adoption of this capability. While organizations like Amazon have already implemented it, the prediction is that many more organizations will follow suit in the coming years.   Furthermore, Mead envisions AI going beyond information retrieval. AI will also discern or intuit whether the provided information places the customer on a path of contentment or dissatisfaction.    In this episode, we hear what Mead thinks about AI and the pathways for its utility in experiences in the short and long term. We also talk about what all this functionality of the AI of tomorrow means to you in managing your experiences today.   Here are some other key moments in the discussion:   04:11 Mead kicks off the discussion about AI with his predictions for the short term, meaning the next one to five years, and it might surprise you to hear how easy it will be for customers. 11:51 We discuss examples of how future AI-enabled CXs will have more proactivity than they do today. 16:38  We learn about the Customer Service Experience and why it is essential to understand what it is and when it occurs for today's organizations. 21:44  Mead explains how to implement an AI strategy for the organization that is cohesive and drives the goals of your entire company rather than one siloed department.   31:57  We all share the key takeaways we have from the discussion and how organizations should use this information today.    Did you know we have a YouTube Channel too?

In today's episode, our guest is Aryeh Sheinbein, Managing Director with Alvarez & Marsal's Valuation Services practice and a member of the Alternative Investment Services group. Aryen has over 20 years of expertise in the financial services industry, having held senior roles in private equity and hedge funds, as well as valuation consulting firms. He advises private equity businesses, hedge funds, and business development firms on valuation (BDCs). His knowledge includes appraising private equity fund portfolios of illiquid stock holdings as well as the underlying equity valuations of portfolio firms. And today, he'll reveal business concepts you didn't know you were aware of. [3:03] Why should we listen to you? I would probably not start talking about myself. I'd probably try and get to know you and talk about you. So I don't think there would be anything to tout myself as to why you should listen to me. But I have four kids and have been married for over 20 years, so I guess I have some experience in that realm. In terms of business, I have been doing finance stuff for 20 some odd years. Other than that, I'm more of a listener rather than a talker. I prefer to listen and to talk. [5:57] Integrity in Work I don't think I'm alone in thinking that there are people who aren't completely honest, but I believe that for the most part, people are honest. However, when I'm dealing with clients, whether selling or advising them on the value of a business or an investment, I know that they are aware that I may not always tell them what they want to hear. [8:55] Daily Work I describe it as simply as possible because I get hired by private equity firms, hedge funds, and all kinds of asset managers. They want me to help them value businesses or investments that they're making that aren't necessarily like public information. And then we're going to work with them to help those businesses or those investments be worth more. [10:45] Valuation of Business or Work I think there are a few things that you said that are important. And then you can kind of break down and get into the weeds on some of these things. The most important thing is that history isn't irrelevant, but it's not what they're buying. Cash flows are critically important.  [11:59] Can I pull a person out? or drop a person in? These things make your business much more valuable. The CEO's job is to be that visionary, but not to be the day-in and day-out of the business. If you have a physical product business, you can email these people, mail them or call them or get in touch with them. [12:58] You may reinvigorate them even if they haven't bought in the last two weeks, a month, or however long it has been. From a conceptual standpoint, you must detach yourself from the day-to-day operations and make them more valuable. [15:30] Lion's Den Podcast I didn't realize how entrepreneurially driven I was until I got this job. I think many people get into a business or want to get into business. And there's something that they don't know about it. And there are many things you didn't even know that you shouldn't have. So the idea is that when you have someone who's gone through something, you will be able to extract that information from them and educate people and bring it to people. [19:47] What's the hope for the world with the podcast? When I started, it was one thing, and now it's pivoted and shifted to another. And that is as people get access to other people's stories, it's a connection matter. It builds that trust for people to say this guy has some value to bring to me. I want to understand least like what to do with my money or understand it. I know that I can potentially talk to this guy and feel reasonably trustworthy from it. [22:33] What promise did God make to the world when He created you? That I will leave it a better place than I came into it.   Key Quotes [4:15-4:22] “A lot of times, people are nervous about making that connection because of the stereotypical and the negative bias that comes with it.” [9:38-9:43] “When they're investing, they're looking for a financial return because they're going to they're going to exit it at some point.”   Learn more about Aryeh Sheinbein on: Website: https://linktr.ee/aryehthebu  Twitter: https://twitter.com/aryehsheinbein  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aryehthebusinessman LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aryehsheinbein  Podcast: https://insidethelionsdenpodcast.com/

O Tribunal de Contas da União (TCU) está investigando a atuação do ex-ministro da Justiça e ex-juiz federal Sergio Moro na iniciativa privada. Após deixar o posto no governo federal, do presidente Jair Bolsonaro (PL), em abril de 2020, Moro passou a trabalhar para a consultoria Alvarez & Marsal, dos Estados Unidos, a partir de outubro do mesmo ano. O período de atuação na empresa foi de aproximadamente um ano. Agora o TCU teria questionado a empresa estadunidense sobre os detalhes do contrato de trabalho feito com Moro, visando investigar possível conflito de interesses, já que a Alvarez & Marsal atende, por exemplo, ao grupo Odebrecht, investigado e condenado no âmbito da Operação Lava Jato, que teve Moro como juiz.Em entrevista concedida à Agência Radioweb, o cientista político Cláudio Couto, coordenador do Mestrado em Gestão e Políticas Públicas da Fundação Getúlio Vargas (FGV), destacou por quais motivos esta investigação se explica, especialmente a partir do histórico de anulação de condenações da Lava Jato por parcialidade como foi o caso relacionado ao ex-presidente da República Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT): "pode-se também suspeitar se o Moro não foi parcial, se ele não teve um direcionamento particular com relação a casos envolvendo outros atores como, por exemplo, as grandes empresas brasileiras, alvo da operação. Não há um conflito de interesses do Moro trabalhar para um escritório que presta serviço para uma empresa [Odebrecht] que ele investigou, sobre a qual tomou decisões como juiz e, mais ainda, para a qual ele acabou produzindo um imenso prejuízo? Será que houve algum tipo de motivação particular?".Na rede social Twitter, Moro publicou que não enriqueceu no setor privado nem público. Também escreveu que não atuou em casos de conflito de interesses, além de classificar como insinuações levianas os argumentos do TCU para a realização da investigação.

This week's Misfit Entrepreneur is Aryeh Sheinbein. Aryeh is the founder of Results Driven Advisory, a firm that has 2 primary focuses. The first is to help business owners value their business, then improve the value of the business. Second, to help business owners grow their own wealth while focusing on the business. Aryeh has and still works with Alvarez & Marsal as a Managing Director. The company is one of the premier advisory companies to the world's biggest hedge funds and private equity firms on business valuation. He's maintained this while building multiple successful companies such as Results Driven Advisory helping clients throughout the world. ​ And I wanted to have him on to discuss a few topics, of course how to make sure you get the full value out of your business and maximize your wealth, but also how to successfully build companies while still working in a professional you love under a company. www.Solutionadvisory.com Instagram: @AryehTheBusinessMan Aryeh went to college and got a degree in finance and wanted to be on Wall Street as an investment banker. After two years, he moved to a small private equity/VC firm that was more of a family office. They invested in early stage companies and small businesses that they grew and sold or took public. He did that for 4 years and it helped to shape his path. He was the only junior person on the team and worked with private companies. He then went back to Wall Street and spent time in hedge funds and equity firms, then ended up where he is today helping those firms in valuing businesses. He always had the drive to do other things on his own and built his own businesses or invested in them along the way. What should business owners know about how to truly value their business? What do they get wrong? For most business owners, the majority of their net worth is tied up in the business, the asset. And most don't think about maximizing that for themselves. The starting point is the value today and the ending point is what you take home when selling. You have run the business to get to the destination in the right way. Business value differently. Manufacturing is different than SAAS, etc. Buyers are interested in the future cash flow. What does the business throw off in the form of cash? If you are not generating free cash flow, you have to show how the growth with get there and how it will pay off. If you are, you need to maximize the cash flow as much as possible. Essentially, EBITA. Recurring revenue in addition to good EBITA is important for value. It is valued higher than one off revenues. If possible, you should work to have a recurring component to your revenues to help your with your value. What should an entrepreneur do to start increasing their value? And how does recurring revenue affect the multiple on a business? You need to layer in a recurring or subscription stream of revenue and automate it as much as possible. Look for complimentary products or services to your core product to add a recurring component with. Increase net revenues (EBITA) by either strategically lowering the cost to deliver your solution or look at ways to increase your pricing – do both if possible. Look for economies of scale in where you can add more clients without adding cost. ​ How do you achieve a liquidity event without selling it? You can do this with debt as a cheap cost of capital. It must be debt as vehicle that the business can handle. In a similar way you can do a “cash out refinance” on a home, you can do the same with a business loan. At the 20 min mark, Aryeh goes through an example of this. Thoughts on exiting a business? There are many different factors, but the first to understand is that there are two types of buyers: Financial and Strategic. A Financial buyer is buying with the intent of a future financial gain or return on the invest in buying the business. They will pay a fair market value in the middle range. A Strategic buyer is a competitor or a complimentary business and views your business as a good “add on” to their business and plug it into to their offerings. Strategics get more economies of scale and thus typically pay a premium value for a business as the sole purpose is not just a financial return, but there are other businesses or capabilities that the target brings. Think of Dollar Shave club being bought because they created a niche and it was easier for Unilever to buy them and the niche than to compete. Most business owners work on and in their business but have little time to focus on their own wealth. How can an entrepreneur maximize their personal wealth while short on time? Increasing the net worth of the business increases their net worth, so maximizing that is a start. If the business is generating good cash for the business owner, most business owners hire a financial planner or advisor. This industry is driven by limitations in that they sell financial products and/or are paid a percentage of assets, but these fees really eat away at the growth potential of your capital. Additionally, you are not able to see all the investment vehicles available to you. The #1 thing, if you want to be educated, is that whoever you are going to deal, you have to know, like, and trust, and they need to show they have a broad knowledge base. Look for true investors that are Fiduciaries if you are going to work with an advisor. Thoughts on 401ks and other investment vehicles? If you are an employee, take full advantage of 401ks and the match. There are limitations in that you cannot invest in things like real estate, etc. in a 401k. 401ks stick mostly to mutual funds and ETF's which over 90% do not beat the S&P 500 over time. Fees are also important to track and make sure you are on top of as it is surprising at how impactful they are to the growth of your 401k in a negative way. Keep fees as low as possible and limit them in every way you can. ​ How do you manage it all and do what you do? ​ You need to have systems for things. Things need to be able to scale. Standard operating procedures that are documented and can be followed by team members is critical. Your goal is not to be needed in the day to day but be needed strategically. What is the trade of time? You have to see what it takes and is capable of doing before you can know if it is something you want to continue. You must personally develop and get to know your true strengths to find complementary strengths in others and fill your weaknesses. Staying healthy is very important as well.   Best Quote: For most business owners, the majority of their net worth is tied up in the business, the asset. And most don't think about maximizing that for themselves.   Aryeh's Misfit 3: People are super important in business and life, and it is a 2-way street. Your development in people skills and communication is critical to success. Focus on things you enjoy doing and to do this, you need systems to help you do so. Use systems to help manage and do the things you don't enjoy. Always be learning. It really compounds your growth over time.   Show Sponsors: BKA Content (1 FREE Month!) www.BKAcontent.com/Misfit 5 Minute Journal:  www.MisfitEntrepreneur.com/Journal

"Einkäufer gelten in der freien Wildbahn als der natürliche Feind des Vertriebs“ habe ich mal auf einem Sales-Event aufgeschnappt.  Der heutige Blick über die Tischkante wird uns tief in die Welt des Einkaufs blicken lassen. Mit Frank Poggendorff habe ich einen absolut offenen und extrem erfahrenen Gesprächspartner gewonnen und allein aus dem Wissen, das er in diesem Interview mit uns teilt, könnte ich einen eigenen Workshop bauen. Du erfährst u.a. wie man erfolgreich mit Monopolisten verhandeln kann und wie man bei internen Verhandlungen mit einem Fachbereich punkten kann. Falls Du ihn noch nicht kennen solltest – gebe ich dir kurz einen kleinen Einblick: Frank Poggendorff ist seit über 20 Jahren Einkaufsexperte in diversen Branchen mit Führungserfahrung und einem exzellentem Netzwerk. Er greift auf Erfahrungswerte aus seiner Zeit als Interim Chief Procurement Officer (CPO) bei Alvarez & Marsal zurück und war von 2009 bis 2017 Leiter Sourcing & Procurement bei der dwpbank AG. Außerdem war er  als Projektleiter bei Accenture und Deloitte sowie als Einkaufsmanager bei der Siemens AG tätig. Wir kennen uns seit knapp 7 Jahren, denn er war einer von vielen Top-Managern, die ich bei Ihrer Ausbildung zum Verhandlungsexperten bei der Schranner AG begleitet habe. An die damaligen Verhandlungen mit Frank erinnere ich mich noch sehr gut, denn es waren auch vor der Ausbildung schon sehr anspruchsvolle Verhandlungen, bei denen auch ich sehr viel gelernt habe.   Ein Learning, was ich sowohl aus diesen Verhandlungen als auch aus diesem Interview vorweggreifen kann, ist das positive Ambiente als Rahmen für Verhandlungen, das Frank schafft und auch empfiehlt – also keine gekachelten Keller ohne Tageslicht und ohne Getränke, sondern eine angemessene Umgebung zum Wohlfühlen.

Craft Brew News – 2/22/19Courtesy of Brewbound.comReceiver Reaches Agreement to Sell DME Group’s Main BusinessCourt-appointed receiver Alvarez & Marsal filed a report Thursday saying it had reached an agreement to sell financially troubled Canadian brewing equipment manufacturer DME Group’s manufacturing and fabrication headquarters in Charlottetown.According to the receiver’s second report filed with the Superior Court of Prince Edward Island, Alvarez & Marsal said it executed a purchase agreement with CIMC Enric Tank and Process Ltd. on February 13. Now, the receiver is asking the court to approve the sale.According to CIMC’s website, the company is “one of the largest suppliers for the beverages and liquid food industries,” with operations around the globe.Alvarez & Marsal said CIMC plans to continue the DME Group’s operations in Charlottetown, employ a majority of the employees currently working at the facility and potentially rehire others.Backlash Over Boston Beer GardensA pair of Massachusetts lawmakers are attempting to rein in Boston’s popular outdoor beer gardens, according to the Boston Globe.Driven by the Massachusetts Restaurant Association, state Sens. Ed Kennedy (D-Lowell) and Nick Collins (D-South Boston) are co-sponsoring a bill that would prevent any person or company from obtaining more than 14 one-day licenses a year. Beer companies such as Trillium and Wachusett, among others, have used those licenses to operate outdoor beer gardens from the spring into the fall.Currently, the law allows applicants to obtain up to 30 one-day licenses. However, beer companies have used a loophole that allows multiple applicants to request licenses on their behalf. Last year, the city issued 82 one-day licenses, up from 39 in 2017, the Globe reported.Speaking to the Globe, Massachusetts Restaurant Association president and CEO Bob Luz said the law is being abused to the detriment of his organization’s members.The states brewers have said they’re willing to work with lawmakers to evolve the law.Meanwhile, Notch Brewing founder Chris Lohring pointed out that the bill as written wouldn’t just hurt craft brewers, but would also affect nonprofits that rely on one-day licenses.Jim Koch Responds to #CorntroversyIt’s been nearly two weeks since Anheuser-Busch launched its Bud Light Super Bowl ads pointing out MillerCoors’ use of corn syrup in its flagship Miller Lite and Coors Light offerings and upsetting corn farmers. Now, Boston Beer Company founder Jim Koch has trudged into the cornfield with a blog post on the Samuel Adams website titled “Corntroversy — Deja Vu?”Koch wrote “It’s like McDonald’s and Burger King arguing about grilling vs. broiling their burgers,” he wrote. “Who cares? Fast food is still fast food.” Koch also predicted that the next phase of A-B’s fight with MillerCoors would be either the latter’s use of hop extract or an attack on imports such as Corona and Modelo, which “use the same industrial brewing techniques and ingredients”Koch also wrote “How safe is the quality image and premium price point of imported beers if drinkers realize that their fancy, upscale image hides less expensive ingredients and industrial brewing practices, just as happened in 1986?”Drizly Partners with BevMo! in CaliforniaBoston-based on-demand alcohol delivery company Drizly is expanding its reach in California via a new partnership with retailer BevMo!, according to a press releaseBevMo has 166 beer, wine and liquor stores on West Coast.The deal will make Drizly’s 60-minute delivery service available in 45 of BevMo!’s stores, including those in the Bay Area, Silicon Valley, Los Angeles and San Diego.With the addition of BevMo!, Drizly now partners with more than 1,000 retail locations in more than 100 cities across North America.

Operating as an owner, process v. bureaucracy, veto power in hiring and outlawed PowerPoint!   Bio: John Rossman is the managing director at business consulting firm Alvarez & Marsal.  Prior to that he spent four years at Amazon, where he launched and scaled the third party selling platform, and also the enterprise services business. In 2014 John wrote a book reflecting on the lessons learned at Amazon titled The Amazon Way: 14 Leadership Principles Behind the World's Most Disruptive Company. Interview: First things first. You are the father to two teenage boys who play sports. Tell us a little bit about the role you've seen sports play in their lives and maybe a life lesson they have learned through sports. Helped develop passion and discipline What is the secondary trait that different sports present to you? The underlying emotional/leadership/mental aspect? We'll spend the bulk of our time going through your book and the leadership lessons you write about, but if you would take a minute or two to share your journey and how you came to work at Amazon in the first place. Been in consulting entire career Efficiency; integrations to help things work across company Through a connection came on board to help develop Amazon's third party platform, which is now over 50% of their business As we get into the book and your time at Amazon, describe the culture of the company from the time you were there, and what makes them a leading company in the world today? 2002 the company was much different Bubble had just burst Amazon was being questioned regarding whether it was viable They have always been frugal; strategic because they believe you have to invent your way out of tough spots In 2002, Amazon only sold books, music and video; and Amazon actually sold each of those; so the marketplace allowed it to expand into new categories (sporting goods, musical instruments, etc.), and to do so without having to carry that inventory Allowed Amazon to expand depth/breadth of what they sold Every category other than books, music, movies, electronics started as a third party seller While almost all retail growth is online, only 10-12% of all retail sales is online; so still very early Let's get into the book. First of all why did you write it and how do you think it can help young leaders as they mature and grow in their leadership skills? Didn't write it immediately after leaving Amazon But when applying lessons from Amazon to his consulting clients, a client suggested he put the Amazon lessons in a book Seven years after leaving Amazon when he wrote the book Relationship with that client came about from kids on the same baseball team (Daniel) book allows readers to see practical/concrete ways that leadership skills play out in the real world The second principle is to “Take Ownership of Results.” You say that leaders at Amazon are “owners.” Can you go into that a bit and specifically talk about how this mentality was encouraged? Core concept at Amazon An owner thinks much differently than a renter Everyone at Amazon has stock in the company to encourage this Also the results are bigger than your job/department; think of your customer and the overall experience and not just your piece of it Ownership avoids bureaucracy and finger pointing So you can make a bigger impact than your own area's results In the section on principle three, Invent and Simplify, you talk about the importance of good processes without bureaucracy. How do you go about that?  And why do you say this is key to retain the A players and avoid C and D players? In most companies, people confuse bureaucracy with process, when actually process prevents bureaucracy Creates accountability Sometimes we hide bureaucracy by calling it process The best performers want to be in a place where they can get things done and make a difference, without having to fight against the bureaucracy machine, while B/C players like to hide behind it. So As will leave and B/Cs will stay. Can you talk about the process you went through to get hired at Amazon and why you believe it is that way? I think people would be amazed at the number and intensity of the hiring/interview process. Focus on fungible skills; the best athlete mentality Special role called a bar raiser – they aren't part of the hiring team; is the candidate going to help raise the bar? The bar raiser has complete veto power over the hire with no questions asked All the interviews are based off of these leadership principles: customer obsession; using data to drive results; collaborate well Tons of time invested into hiring process; John was interviewed 23 times before being hired (Daniel) advice on how to implement? Get your definitions clears; what are you looking for? How are you evaluating talent? Don't compromise! Especially not based on speed. Have thoughtful interviewing approaches. Past behavior based interviewing is the best way to identify what candidates are capable of in the future No softball interviews! My impression of the Amazon culture after reading your book is one of extreme pressure and intensity, but not to the point that it repelled good people or stifled their innovation. Is that a fair categorization?  If so, how does this work? It is a high intensity, high expectations, high performing environment Retains and grows great talent Most high performing teams have the same type of culture Starts with talent selection, but goes throughout the entire cycle of the employee Allows you to get big things done without a lot of overhead/bureaucracy I was struck by the no Powerpoint rule when presenting ideas, and also the future press release technique. Can you talk about those? Writing a narrative v. building a powerpoint is trying to get clarity and being specific about what is being proposed Ambiguity is always on the edge, so specifics matter Must get clarity and scale it across more people, so the knowledge isn't just with one person Narratives are either 2 or 6 pages in nature, and instead of a Powerpoint, you have to write it out; audience must “get it” Future press release makes you put yourself in the customer's shoes about whey they love the product; also what were the challenges that were overcome in order to achieve the result (Daniel) Talking about the mistaken use of Powerpoint as the primary (or only) communication method rather than just a tool to efficiently share a more thought out set of ideas (the narrative) Powerpoint in some ways has dumbed down the content Why are real-time metrics far superior to traditional weekly/monthly/quarterly/annual metrics? You can do things with real-time data you can never do with batch data, like real-time adjustments You mention a quote from former NFL head coach Bill Parcells, “Blame Nobody. Expect Nothing. Do Something.” and conclude he would make an excellent leader at Amazon. Why? Because it's the no victim mentality, and that we are here to solve problems. I am an owner and I need to solve the problem, regardless of who created the problem. There is no “no.” Figure out a way to get to “yes,” and to come to a solution (Daniel) Referring to Second City/Improv “Yes, and” games/training How do we make simple things hard? How can we avoid it? And why is that important? Human/Corporate nature that because we all want to get along/be polite, sometimes we let simple things become hard It takes wisdom to know what should be hard, and call something that is hard but should be simple for what it is The ninth principle is to “Earn the trust of others.” You borrow from Michael Hyatt a set of six keys to earning trust. Talk about one of two of those you feel are most important for us to know. Be self-critical – willing to lead with where you failed/fell short, and always followed up with how you're going to fix that Sets a tone of humility/learning Allows others to be vulnerable as well Blue Angels debrief sessions (“Safeties”) – takes longer than the show; pilots share what their safeties were, which then allows others to chime in People do a good job of planning and execution, but do a terrible job of debrief (Daniel) important to do it very soon after the project/event The thirteenth principle, “Have Backbone,” I think can be a challenge for many of us who don't want to cause problems or rock the boat. Can you dispel us of that tendency? About having (business) courage – knowing the right thing and being committed to doing it Even if it's a risk Jeff Bezos – create an environment where we resist social cohesion Is there anything from the book we haven't covered you want to mention before we wrap up? The principles aren't in any order The first one is about leadership obsession – where you always put the customer/organization first and work back from that The last one is deliver results – leaders must do this regardless of circumstances Those are the bookends Where can people go to learn more about you and where can they pick up the book? The Amazon Way (book) John's new book – The Amazon Way on IoT The-Amazon-Way.com – John's blog focused on disruption John is not in the Beta test group for Drone Delivery! Too bad!

I would have had a maniacal focus on cash – don't allow your business to become vulnerable. What one strategy or “recipe” would compound into big wins for business owners? Treat every day like a new adventure – constantly innovate and be creative. How to exceed expectations and add the most value? An individual would be independent – they will figure things out and not wait around for you. What strategy would you recommend new business owners focus on to best ensure success?
