10 Lessons from What They Don’t Teach You At Harvard Business School
1) It's a simple business truth that you can't stay the same size.
2) Rule: a meeting's productivity is inversely proportionate to the number of people attending it.
4) The people who get ahead have a need, are driven to perform a task well, no matter what the task is or how mundane it may actually be.
5) As a general business rule I am dedicated to the importance of acting instead of reacting - and so never over-reacting - to or within any business situation.
6) False flattery is transparent, and can easily backfire.
7) Round numbers beg to be negotiated, usually by counter-offer round numbers. Odd numbers sound harder, more firm, less negotiable.
8) A lot of building a business is listening to your own common sense, then taking the necessary steps to turn the theories into practice.
9) Every phone call should accomplish something.
10) I believe the way an office looks - how neat and clean it is, how streamlined it is set up - can have a profound effect on how quickly things get done.
