7 Rules for Leading/THRIVING in a Recession+ 1. It’s ALREADY too late. 2. Show up & tell the truth—CREDIBILITY rules. 3. Kill with KINDNESS. 4. Sharp pencils are imperative—but don’t forget that the CUSTOMER & our TALENT & RISKY INVESTMENTS are still our long-term Bread & Butter. 5. Everything’s different, everything’s the same—it’s the NEW ECONOMY, more than ever, stupid! 6. “Use” the trauma to mount the bold initiatives you should have long before mounted: Flux = OPPORTUNITY. 7. We’re in a War of Organizational Models—from retail to the Pentagon. IDEAS MATTER MOST.

“Good management was the most powerful reason [leading firms] failed to stay atop their industries. Precisely because these firms listened to their customers, invested aggressively in technologies that would provide their customers more and better products of the sort they wanted, and because they carefully studied market trends and systematically allocated investment capital to innovations that promised the best returns, they lost their positions of leadership.” Clayton Christensen, The Innovator’s Dilemma

“The move toward outsourced manufacturing represents an obvious opportunity for contract manufacturers [such as Flextronics: $93M to $15B, ’93-’00], but it’s also a potential boon to product innovation.

Someone else makes the imaginary real. ‘All that money that used to go to fund infrastructure is going into design and innovation,’ says Flex CEO Michael Marks.” Wired/11.2001

“You must realize that how you invest your human capital matters as much as how you invest your financial capital. Its rate of return determines your future options. Take a job for what it teaches you, not for what it pays. Instead of a potential employer asking, ‘Where do you see yourself in 5 years?’ you’ll ask, ‘If I invest my mental assets with you for 5 years, how much will they appreciate? How much will my portfolio of career options grow?’ ” Stan Davis & Christopher Meyer, futureWEALTH

Charles Handy on the “alchemists”: “Passion was what drove these people, passion for their product or their cause. If you care enough, you will find out what you need to know. Or you will experiment and not worry if the experiment goes wrong. Passion as the secret to learning is an odd secret to propose, but I believe that it works at all levels and at all ages. Sadly, passion is not a word often heard in the elephant organizations, nor in schools, where it can seem disruptive.”

Sales2001
81
The Sales25 : Great Salespeople … 1. Know the product. (Find cool mentors, and use them.) 2. Know the company. 3. Know the customer. (Including the customer’s consultants.) (And especially the “corporate culture.”) 4. Love internal politics at home and abroad. 5. Religiously respect competitors. (No badmouthing, no matter how provoked.) 6. Wire the customer’s org. (Relationships at all levels & functions.) 7. Wire the home team’s org. and vendors’ orgs. (INVEST Big Time time in relationships at all levels & functions.) (Take junior people in all functions to client meetings.)
82
Great Salespeople … 8. Never overpromise. (Even if it costs you your job.) 9. Sell only by solving problems-creating profitable opportunities. (“Our product solves these problems, creates these unimagined INCREDIBLE opportunities, and will make you a ton of money—here’s exactly how.”) (IS THIS A “PRODUCT SALE” OR A WOW-ORIGINAL SOLUTION YOU’LL BE DINING OFF 5 YEARS FROM NOW? THAT WILL BE WRITTEN UP IN THE TRADE PRESS?) 10. Will involve anybody—including mortal enemies—if it enhances the scope of the problem we can solve and increases the scope of the opportunity we can encompass. 11. Know the Brand Story cold; live the Brand Story. (If not, leave.)
83
Great Salespeople … 12. Think “Turnkey.” (It’s always your problem!) 13. Act as “orchestra conductor”: You are responsible for making the whole-damn-network respond. (PERIOD.) 14. Help the customer get to know the vendor’s organization & build up their Rolodex. 15. Walk away from bad business. (Even if it gets you fired.) 16. Understand the idea of a “good loss.” (A bold effort that’s sometimes better than a lousy win.) 17. Think those who regularly say “It’s all a price issue” suffer from rampant immaturity & shrunken imagination. 18. Will not give away the store to get a foot in the door. 19. Are wary & respectful of upstarts—the real enemy. 20. Seek several “cool customers”—who’ll drag you into Tomorrowland.
84
Great Salespeople … 21. Use the word “partnership” obsessively, even though it is way overused. (“Partnership” includes folks at all levels throughout the supply chain.) 22. Send thank you notes by the truckload. (NOT E- NOTES.) (Most are for “little things.”) (50% of those notes are sent to those in our company!) Remember birthdays. Use the word “we.” 23. When you look across the table at the customer, think religiously to yourself: “HOW CAN I MAKE THIS DUDE RICH & FAMOUS & GET HIM-HER PROMOTED?” 24. Great salespeople can affirmatively respond to the query in an HP banner ad: HAVE YOU CHANGED CIVILIZATION TODAY? 25. Keep your bloody PowerPoint slides simple!

3. Performance Up or out!
103
“We believe companies can increase their market cap 50 percent in 3 years. Steve Macadam at Georgia-Pacific changed 20 of his 40 box plant managers to put more talented, higher paid managers in charge. He increased profitability from $25 million to $80 million in 2 years.” Ed Michaels, War for Talent (05.17.00)
104
Message: Some people are better than other people. Some people are a helluva lot better than other people.
105
4. Pay Fork Over!
106
“Top performing companies are two to four times more likely than the rest to pay what it takes to prevent losing top performers.” Ed Michaels, War for Talent (05.17.00)
107
What gets measured gets done. What gets paid for gets done more. What gets paid a lot for gets done a lot more.
108
5. Youth Grovel Before the Young!
109
“Why focus on these late teens and twenty- somethings? Because they are the first young who are both in a position to change the world, and are actually doing so. … For the first time in history, children are more comfortable, knowledgeable and literate than their parents about an innovation central to society. … The Internet has triggered the first industrial revolution in history to be led by the young.” The Economist [12/2000]
110
6. Diversity Mess Rules!
111
“Diversity defines the health and wealth of nations in a new century. Mighty is the mongrel. … The hybrid is hip. The impure, the mélange, the adulterated, the blemished, the rough, the black-and-blue, the mix-and-match – these people are inheriting the earth. Mixing is the new norm. Mixing trumps isolation. It spawns creativity, nourishes the human spirit, spurs economic growth and empowers nations.” G. Pascal Zachary, The Global Me: New Cosmopolitans and the Competitive Edge

115
Women’s Strengths Match New Economy Imperatives: Link [rather than rank] workers; favor interactive-collaborative leadership style [empowerment beats top-down decision making]; sustain fruitful collaborations; comfortable with sharing information; see redistribution of power as victory, not surrender; favor multi-dimensional feedback; value technical & interpersonal skills, individual & group contributions equally; readily accept ambiguity; honor intuition as well as pure “rationality”; inherently flexible; appreciate cultural diversity Source: Judy B. Rosener, America’s Competitive Secret

Who asks more questions in a conversation? Who is a better listener? Who has more interest in communication skills? Who is more inclined to get involved? Who encourages harmony and agreement? Who has better intuition? Who works with a longer ‘to do’ list? Who enjoys a recap to the day’s events? Who is better at keeping in touch with others?” Source: Selling Is a Woman’s Game: 15 Powerful Reasons Why Women Can Outsell Men, Nicki Joy & Susan Kane-Benson

“Deloitte was doing a great job of hiring high- performing women; in fact, women often earned higher performance ratings than men in their first years with the firm. Yet the percentage of women decreased with step up the career ladder. … Most women weren’t leaving to raise families; they had weighed their options in Deloitte’s male- dominated culture and found them wanting. Many, dissatisfied with a culture they perceived as endemic to professional service firms, switched professions.” Douglas McCracken, “Winning the Talent War for Women” [HBR]
124
“The process of assigning plum accounts was largely unexamined. … Male partners made assumptions: ‘I wouldn’t put her on that kind of company because it’s a tough manufacturing environment.’ ‘That client is difficult to deal with.’ ‘Travel puts too much pressure on women.’ ” Douglas McCracken, “Winning the Talent War for Women” [HBR]

J. D. Rockefeller’s General Education Board (1906): “ In our dreams people yield themselves with perfect docility to our molding hands. … The task is simple. We will organize children and teach them in a perfect way the things their fathers and mothers are doing in an imperfect way.” John Taylor Gatto, A Different Kind of Teacher
141
“My wife and I went to a [kindergarten] parent-teacher conference and were informed that our budding refrigerator artist, Christopher, would be receiving a grade of Unsatisfactory in art. We were shocked. How could any child—let alone our child—receive a poor grade in art at such a young age? His teacher informed us that he had refused to color within the lines, which was a state requirement for demonstrating ‘grade-level motor skills.’ ” Jordan Ayan, AHA! Jordan Ayan
142
“How many artists are there in the room? Would you please raise your hands. FIRST GRADE: En masse the children leapt from their seats, arms waving. Every child was an artist. SECOND GRADE: About half the kids raised their hands, shoulder high, no higher. The hands were still. THIRD GRADE: At best, 10 kids out of 30 would raise a hand, tentatively, self-consciously. By the time I reached SIXTH GRADE, no more than one or two kids raised their hands, and then ever so slightly, betraying a fear of being identified by the group as a ‘closet artist.’ The point is: Every school I visited was participating in the suppression of creative genius.” Gordon MacKenzie, Orbiting the Giant Hairball: A Corporate Fool’s Guide to Surviving with Grace
143
An Unnatural Way to “Learn”
144
Schools’ “Kafka-like rituals”: “enforce sensory deprivation on classes of children held in featureless rooms … sort children into rigid categories by the use of fantastic measures such as age-grading, or standardized test scores … train children to drop whatever they are occupied with and to move as a body from room to room at the sound of a bell, buzzer, horn, or klaxon … keep children under constant surveillance, depriving them of private time and space … John Taylor Gatto, A Different Kind of Teacher
145
Kafka-like rituals (cont.): “assign children numbers constantly, feigning the ability to discriminate qualities quantitatively … insist that every moment of time be filled with low- level abstractions … forbid children their own discoveries, pretending to possess some vital secret to which children must surrender their active learning time to acquire.” John Taylor Gatto, A Different Kind of Teacher

The Learner’s Manifesto The brain is always learning. Learning does not require coercion. Learning must be meaningful. Learning is incidental. Learning is collaborative. The consequences of worthwhile learning are obvious. Learning always involves feelings. Learning must be free of risk. Frank Smith, Insult to Intelligence
149
Tom’s Edu3M Manifesto* *Manifesto for Education in the 3 rd Millennium
150
Education3M Learning is a normal state. Children are learnavores. Prodigious feats of learning are common as dirt. [Watch a H.S. QB studying game film.] We learn at different rates. We learn in different ways. Boys and girls learn [very] differently. In a class of 25, there are 25 different trajectories. Learning in 40-minute blocks is bullshit. Learning for tests is utterly insane. There are numerous rigorous evaluation schemes, of which testing is but one—and abnormal, by “real world” standards.
151
Education3M We learn most/fastest/most completely when we are passionate about what we are learning and it matters to us. [Salience rules!] Think EBI/LBI: Education by Interest/ Learning by Internship. Classrooms are abnormal places. We need changes of pace. [Japanese recesses after each class.] International test scores are not correlated with hours-per-year in class. Big classes are slightly problematic. Big schools suck. Period.
152
Education3M “All this”—the right stuff—fits the NWW/New World of Work hand-in-glove. [NWW = Age of Creativity.] U.S. schools circa 2001 are a vestige of the Prussian-Fordist model, more interested in shaping behavior than stoking the fires of lifelong learning. Cutting art-music budgets is truly dumb. Learning is a matter of Intensity of Engagement, not elapsed time. [Aargh: 11 minutes on the Battle of Gettysburg.] Teachers need enough space-time-flexibility to get to know kids as individuals. Scientific discovery processes and the teaching of science are utterly at odds. [Exploration vs. spoon-feeding.]
153
Education3M Our toughest “learning achievement”— mastering our native language—does not require schools, or even competent parents. [It does require a desperate need-to-know.] Great teachers are great learners, not imparters- of-knowledge. Great teachers ask great questions—that launch kids on lifelong quests. The world is not about “right” & “wrong” answers; it is about the pursuit of increasingly sophisticated questions—just ask a ski instructor or neurosurgeon.
154
Education3M Most schools spend most of their time setting up contexts in which kids learn not to like particular subjects. [Evidence shows that such anti- learning sticks!] Vigorous exploration is normal … until you are incarcerated in a school. “Bite size” education-learning is neither education nor learning. Learning takes place rapidly on the cheerleading squad, the football team, the school newspaper, the drama club, at the after-class job--just not in the hyper-structured classroom.

Education3M The “school reform” “movement” is a giant step … backwards … embracing the Prussian-Fordist paradigm with renewed vigor—at exactly the wrong time. There are large numbers of superb schools, superb principals, superb teachers; sadly, they not only fail to infect the [largely timid] rest, but are ordinarily supplanted by wusses & wimps. Alas, the teaching profession does not ordinarily attract “cool dudes & dudettes.” Schools of “education” should by and large have their charters revoked.
156
Education3M Stability is dead; “education” must therefore “educate” for an unknowable, ambiguous, changing future; thence, learning to learn & change is far more important than mastery of a static body of “facts.” “Education” must “develop in youth the capabilities for engaging in intense concentrated involvement in an activity.” [James Coleman, 1974.] [Hint: It doesn’t.] [Hint: Understatement.]

WEIRD IDEAS THAT WORK: (1) Hire slow learners (of the organizational code). (1.5) Hire people who make you uncomfortable, even those you dislike. (2) Hire people you (probably) don’t need. (3) Use job interviews to get ideas, not to screen candidates. (4) Encourage people to ignore and defy superiors and peers. (5) Find some happy people and get them to fight. (6) Reward success and failure, punish inaction. (7) Decide to do something that will probably fail, then convince yourself and everyone else that success is certain. (8) Think of some ridiculous, impractical things to do, then do them. (9) Avoid, distract, and bore customers, critics, and anyone who just wants to talk about money. (10) Don’t try to learn anything from people who seem to have solved the problems you face. (11) Forget the past, particularly your company’s success. Bob Sutton, Weird Ideas that Work: 11½ Ideas for Promoting, Managing and Sustaining Innovation

The GM/VC “model” of leadership.
167
Logic: Cut from 1,000 brands to 500 brands, for efficiency’s sake. Need 10% p.a. growth in reduced # of brands to get “guaranteed” corporate growth of 5%. (AND YOU DON’T GET “AVERAGE” GROWTH IN EVERY BRAND—DUH.) Hence, 10% across-the- board growth will mostly come from 40% growth in small # of brands (Pareto: 80/20 rule; blah, blah, blah). Axiom: 40% growth will only come from high-risk bets—and accompanying failures—across the portfolio. Hence, the “VC [GM] model.”
168
Axiom/Statistical Truism: The more challenging the goal and the more elusive the target … the more dependant we are on the “outliers” … the serendipitous/“long shot” results that only emanate from a portfolio of “tries”/projects laden with risk. ALL HAIL THE HSDE!

Impact #1: Healthcare
223
HealthCare2001 Consumerism X Demographics X IS/Internet X Info Consolidators X Genetics & Devices = YIKES!
224
1. Consumerism (Patient- centric Healthcare)
225
“A seismic shift is underway in healthcare. The Internet is delivering vast knowledge and new choices to consumers—raising their expectations and, in many cases, handing them the controls. [Healthcare] consumers are driving radical, fundamental change.” Deloitte Research, “Winning the Loyalty of the eHealth Consumer”
226
Consumer Imperatives Choice Control (Self-care, Self-management) Shared Medical Decision-making Customer Service Information Branding Source: Institute for the Future
227
“Consumerism”: HMO backlash (e.g., plans with more choice). Alternative Medicine, Wellness & Prevention. Info availability (disease, health, docs, support groups, outcomes). Self-care (chronic disease). High expectations (genetics, etc.). Boomers (see below). …
228
2. Demographics : The BOOMERS Reach 55!
229
Boomer World “From jogging to plastic surgery, from vegetarian diets to Viagra, they are fighting to preserve their youth and defy the effects of gravity.” M.W.C. Howgill, “Healthcare Consumerism, the Information Revolution and Branding”
230
Message Boomer: (1) “There are l-o-t-s of us.” (2) “We have the $$$$$$. (3) “We’re/ I’m in charge!” (4) “We’ll take no guff from anyone.” (5) “We know the emperor has no clothes.”
231
3. The IS/Web REVOLUTION
232
“We’re in the Internet age, and the average patient can’t email their doctor.” Donald Berwick, Harvard Med School
233
“In an era when terrorists use satellite phones and encrypted email, US gatekeepers stand armed against them with pencils and paperwork, and archaic computer systems that don’t talk to each other.” Boston Globe (09.30.2001)
234
“Once devised in Riyadh, the tasking order took hours to get to the Navy’s six aircraft carriers—because the Navy had failed years earlier to procure the proper communications gear that would have connected the Navy with its Air Force counterparts. … To compensate for the lack of communications capability, the Navy was forced to fly a daily cargo mission from the Persian Gulf and Red Sea to Riyadh in order to pick up a computer printout of the air mission tasking order, then fly back to the carriers, run photocopy machines at full tilt, and distribute the documents to the air wing squadrons that were planning the next strike.” –Bill Owens, Lifting the Fog of War
235
“Without being disrespectful, I consider the U.S. healthcare delivery system the largest cottage industry in the world. There are virtually no performance measurements and no standards. Trying to measure performance … is the next revolution in healthcare.” Richard Huber, former CEO, Aetna
236
“As unsettling as the prevalence of inappropriate care is the enormous amount of what can only be called ignorant care. A surprising 85% of everyday medical treatments have never been scientifically validated. … For instance, when family practitioners in Washington were queried about treating a simple urinary tract infection, 82 physicians came up with an extraordinary 137 strategies.” Demanding Medical Excellence: Doctors and Accountability in the Information Age, Michael Millenson
237
“In health care, geography is destiny.” Dartmouth Medical School 1996 report, from Demanding Medical Excellence: Doctors and Accountability in the Information Age, Michael Millenson
238
Geography Is Destiny E.g.: Ft. Myers 4X Manhattan—back surgery. Newark 2X New Haven— prostatectomy. Rapid City SD 34X Elyria OH—breast-conserving surgery. VT, ME, IA: 3X differences in hysterectomy by age 70; 8X tonsillectomy; 4X prostatectomy ( 10X Baton Rouge vs. Binghampton). Breast cancer screening: 4X NE, FL, MI vs. SE, SW. (Source: various)
239
Geography Is Destiny “Often all one must do to acquire a disease is to enter a country where a disease is recognized—leaving the country will either cure the malady or turn it into something else. … Blood pressure considered treatably high in the United States might be considered normal in England; and the low blood pressure treated with 85 drugs as well as hydrotherapy and spa treatments in Germany would entitle its sufferer to lower life insurance rates in the United States.” – Lynn Payer, Medicine & Culture
240
“Practice variation is not caused by ‘bad’ or ‘ignorant’ doctors. Rather, it is a natural consequence of a system that systematically tracks neither its processes nor its outcomes, preferring to presume that good facilities, good intentions and good training lead automatically to good results. Providers remain more comfortable with the habits of a guild, where each craftsman trusts his fellows, than with the demands of the information age.” Michael Millenson, Demanding Medical Excellence
241
CDC 1998: 90,000 killed and 2,000,000 injured from nosocomial [hospital-caused] drug errors & infections
242
RAND (1998): 50%, appropriate preventive care. 60%, recommended treatment, per medical studies, for chronic conditions. 20%, chronic care treatment that is wrong. 30% acute care treatment that is wrong.
243
“In a disturbing 1991 study, 110 nurses of varying experience levels took a written test of their ability to calculate medication doses. Eight out of 10 made calculation mistakes at least 10% of the time, while four out of 10 made mistakes 30 % of the time.” Demanding Medical Excellence: Doctors and Accountability in the Information Age, Michael Millenson

5. Genetics & Devices

“Recognizing that a single misspelled gene means the difference between being poisoned and being cured was the first victory for the new science of pharmacogenetics.” Newsweek (06.25.01)
250
Genetic data: 2X every 6 months. Source: FT, 11.27.2001
251
“Pharmacogenomics could fundamentally change the nature of drug discovery and marketing, rendering obsolete the pharmaceutical industry’s practice of spending vast amounts of time and money to craft a single medicine with mass-market appeal.” The Industry Standard (05.28.01)
252
“BIG DRUG MAKERS TRY TO POSTPONE CUSTOM REGIMENS. Most drugs don’t work well for about half the patients for whom they are prescribed, and experts believe genetic differences are part of the reason. The technology for genetic testing is now in use. But the technique threatens to be so disruptive to the business of big drug companies – it could limit the market for some of their blockbuster products – that many of them are resisting its widespread use.” The Wall Street Journal (06.18.2001)
253
Forbes100 from 1917 to 1987: 39 members of the Class of ’17 were alive in ’87; 18 are in ’87 F100; the 18 F100 “survivors” underperformed the market by 20%; just 2 (2%), GE & Kodak, outperformed the market from 1917 to 1987. Source: Dick Foster & Sarah Kaplan, Creative Destruction: Why Companies That Are Built to Last Underperform the Market
254
“Imagine the day that your surgeon performs your heart bypass sitting at a computer thousands of miles from the operating table. That day may come sooner than you think.” Newsweek (06.25.01)
255
“There is no question in my mind that the future of heart surgery is in robotics.” Dr. Robert Michler, OSU Med Center, upon the FDA’s approval of robotic partial- bypass surgery
256
Golden Age of Patient-centric, Genetics- driven Healthcare Looms! Current status: $1.3T. 30M-70M uninsured. 90K killed and 2M injured p.a. in hospitals. 85% treatments unproven. Cure depends on locale in which treated. 50% prescriptions do not work. 2X docs. 2X hospitals. IS primitive. Accountability & measurement nil. And everybody’s mad and feels powerless: docs, patients, nurses, insurers, employers, hospitals administrators and staff.
257
Message: (1) An unparalleled time for imagination and bold action. (2) A time of unprecedented opportunities. (3) A time of unprecedented risk.

THE BASE CASE: I am a design fanatic. Personally, though not “artistic,” I’m a cool-stuff guy. I love what I love and I hate what I hate. [Openly.] But it goes [much] further, far beyond the personal. Design has become a professional obsession. I – SIMPLY – BELIEVE THAT DESIGN PER SE IS THE PRINCIPAL REASON FOR EMOTIONAL ATTACHMENT [or detachment] RELATIVE TO A PRODUCT OR SERVICE OR EXPERIENCE. Design, as I see it, is arguably the #1 determinant of whether a product-service-experience stands out … or doesn’t. Furthermore, it’s “one of those things” … that damn few companies put – consistently – on the front burner.
319
Design’s place in the universe.
320
And Tomorrow … “Fifteen years ago companies competed on price. Now it’s quality. Tomorrow it’s design.” Robert Hayes
321
All Equal Except … “At Sony we assume that all products of our competitors have basically the same technology, price, performance and features. Design is the only thing that differentiates one product from another in the marketplace.” Norio Ohga
322
“Design is treated like a religion at BMW.” Fortune (10/98)
323
“The new Beetle fails at most categories. The only thing it doesn’t fail in is drop-dead charm.” Jerry Hirshberg, Nissan Design International
324
Object of Desire! “Every now and then, a design comes along that radically changes the way we think about a particular object. Case in point: the iMac. Suddenly, a computer is no longer an anonymous box. It is a sculpture, an object of desire, something that you look at.” Katherine McCoy, Michael McCoy, Illinois Institute of Technology
325
“We don’t have a good language to talk about this kind of thing. In most people’s vocabularies, design means veneer. … But to me, nothing could be further from the meaning of design. Design is the fundamental soul of a man-made creation.” Steve Jobs
326
“The good 10 percent of American product design comes out of big-idea companies that don’t believe in talking to the customer. They're run by passionate maniacs who make everybody’s life miserable until they get what they want.” Bran Ferren, Applied Minds/Wired 1-2001
327
Check Out the Language: “Tomorrow it’s design …” “Design is the only thing …” “Design is … religion...” “Drop-dead charm …” “Object of desire …” “Fundamental soul …” “Passionate maniacs …”
328
Philippe Starck
329
“Today the problem is not how to produce more to sell more. The fundamental question is that of the product’s right to exist. And it is the designer’s right and duty to question the legitimacy of the product.” Philippe Starck
330
“[At Thompson] I outlawed the word ‘consumer’ in all company meetings, and insisted it be replaced by the words ‘my friend,’ ‘my wife, ‘my daughter,’ ‘my mother,’ or ‘myself.’ It doesn’t sound the same at all, if you say: ‘It doesn’t matter, it’s shit, but the consumers will make do with it,’ or if you start over again and say, ‘It’s shit, but it doesn’t matter, my daughter will make do with it.’ All of a sudden, you can’t get away with it anymore. There is an enormous task to be done with this kind of symbolic repositioning.” Philippe Starck
331
“Today, 80 per cent of objects are unnecessarily macho. Yet it is plain: The intelligence of a truly modern society must be feminine. … Apart from a machine pistol, I can’t think of many objects which actually need to be extravagantly masculine.” Philippe Starck
332
Message(?????): Men cannot design for women’s needs.
333
Architect to TP: “The only house with a second- floor laundry was designed by a woman.”
334
Message: Design is the wellspring of branding. Great design takes guts and is “soul deep.”

Brand Outside Strategy 3B : It’s the Experience!
346
“ Experiences are as distinct from services as services are from goods.” Joseph Pine & James Gilmore, The Experience Economy: Work Is Theatre & Every Business a Stage
347
“The [Starbucks] Fix” Is on … “We have identified a ‘third place.’ And I really believe that sets us apart. The third place is that place that’s not work or home. It’s the place our customers come for refuge.” Nancy Orsolini, District Manager
348
Experience: “Rebel Lifestyle!” “What we sell is the ability for a 43-year-old accountant to dress in black leather, ride through small towns and have people be afraid of him.” Harley exec, quoted in Results-Based Leadership

Bob Lutz: (1) “I see us as being in the art business. Art, entertainment and mobile sculpture, which, coincidentally, also happens to provide transportation.” (2) Focus groups can be misleading. (“What did you like about that movie you just saw? Was there enough violence? Was the car chase long enough?”) (3) Design must be Priority No. 1. Source: NYT 10.19.01
354
Brand Outside Strategy 4 : BRAND POWER!
355
“WHO ARE YOU [these days] ?” TP to Client
356
“Most companies tend to equate branding with the company’s marketing. Design a new marketing campaign and, voila, you’re on course. They are wrong. The task is much bigger. It is about fulfilling our potential … not about a new logo, no matter how clever. WHAT IS MY MISSION IN LIFE? WHAT DO I WANT TO CONVEY TO PEOPLE? HOW DO I MAKE SURE THAT WHAT I HAVE TO OFFER THE WORLD IS ACTUALLY UNIQUE? The brand has to give of itself, the company has to give of itself, the management has to give of itself. To put it bluntly, it is a matter of whether – or not – you want to be … UNIQUE … NOW.” Jesper Kunde, A Unique Moment Jesper Kunde
357
“Brand Promise” Exercise: (1) Who Are WE? (poem/novella/song, then 25 words.) (2) List three ways in which we are UNIQUE … to our Clients. (3) Who are THEY (competitors) ? (ID, 25 words.) (4) List 3 distinct “us”/“them” differences. (5) Try “results” on your teammates. (6) Try ’em on a friendly Client. (7) Big Enchilada: Try ’em on a skeptical Client!

The Leadership50 Leading in Totally Screwed Up Times
370
1. Leadership Is a … Mutual Discovery Process.
371
Leaders-Teachers Do Not “Transform People”! Instead leaders-mentors-teachers (1) provide a context which is marked by (2) access to a luxuriant portfolio of meaningful opportunities (projects) which (3) allow people to fully (and safely, mostly—caveat: “they” don’t engage unless they’re “mad about something”) express their innate curiosity and (4) engage in a vigorous discovery voyage (alone and in small teams, assisted by an extensive self-constructed network) by which those people (5) go to-create places they (and their mentors-teachers- leaders) had never dreamed existed—and then the leaders-mentors-teachers (6) applaud like hell, stage “photo-ops,” and ring the church bells 100 times to commemorate the bravery of their “followers’ ” explorations!
372
1A. Leaders … Cede Control.
373
“I don’t know.”

“Basically [Omnicom’s John] Wren makes aggressive bets on entrepreneurs and gives them tremendous autonomy, on the assumption that the risk-taking will pay off in new ideas, connections, businesses, and, yes, revenues and profits. … ‘Omnicom operates like a venture-capital firm,’ says Sir Martin Sorrell [of WPP].” Fortune (09.17.2001)

Duct Tape Rules! “Andrew Higgins, who built landing craft in WWII, refused to hire graduates of engineering schools. He believed that they only teach you what you can’t do in engineering school. He started off with 20 employees, and by the middle of the war had 30,000 working for him. He turned out 20,000 landing craft. D.D. Eisenhower told me, ‘Andrew Higgins won the war for us. He did it without engineers.’ ” Stephen Ambrose/Fast Company
397

399
8A. Leaders Re -do.
400
“If Microsoft is good at anything, it’s avoiding the trap of worrying about criticism. Microsoft fails constantly. They’re eviscerated in public for lousy products.

420
16. Leaders Understand the Ultimate Power of RELATIONSHIPS.
421
“Women speak and hear a language of connection and intimacy, and men speak and hear a language of status and independence.

422
16A. Leaders Wire the Joint!
423
Winners wire. Losers are slaves to rank.

Who has better intuition? Who works with a longer ‘to do’ list? Who enjoys a recap to the day’s events?

“Diversity defines the health and wealth of nations in a new century. Mighty is the mongrel. … The hybrid is hip. The impure, the mélange, the adulterated, the blemished, the rough, the black-and-blue, the mix-and-match – these people are inheriting the earth. Mixing is the new norm. Mixing trumps isolation. It spawns creativity, nourishes the human spirit, spurs economic growth and empowers nations.” G. Pascal Zachary, The Global Me: New Cosmopolitans and the Competitive Edge
432
19. Leaders … FORGET!/ Leaders … DESTROY!
433
Forget>“Learn” “The problem is never how to get new, innovative thoughts into your mind, but how to get the old ones out.” Dee Hock
434
“Good management was the most powerful reason [leading firms] failed to stay atop their industries. Precisely because these firms listened to their customers, invested aggressively in technologies that would provide their customers more and better products of the sort they wanted, and because they carefully studied market trends and systematically allocated investment capital to innovations that promised the best returns, they lost their positions of leadership.” Clayton Christensen, The Innovator’s Dilemma
435
20. BUT … Leaders Have to Deliver, So They Worry About “Throwing the Baby Out with the Bathwater.”
