Notes
The basics of entrepreneurship: sense of mission, customer/product vision, high speed innovation, and self-inspired behaviour.
The inclination of my life has been to do things and make things which will give pleasure to people in new and amazing ways.

Sense of mission: leaving footprints in the sand

WHAT WENT WRONG ??????????????
- 33% of the excellent Co's ('62-'84)
- 84% of the 100 biggest Co's (1900-2000)
- 70%of the fortune 500(1955-2006)
- bigger isn't always better
- start up
- high growth
- decline
- survival
- everything that can be invented has been invented
- Charles duell director us patent office-1899
- I'm okay-your okay
- this produces terminal inaction
- we are not okay.... we are NEVER okay
- crises and a sense of urgency are necessary for organization to grow
- one best way
- silences workers forever
- kills innovation
- out of touch with competitors and customers
- your next great idea comes from this
- centralize everything
- this is about controlling everything...is biggest actually better
- when in doubt-decentralize lab in the woods (scientist take over)
- idea of having an innovation team out in the woods away from the hustle bustle of business allowed for creativity
- best ideas come form the factory floor, lunch brainstorming with salesman and face to face
- marketing takes over
- or salesman takes over
- opposite to lab in the woods
- not product specialist... you need both scientist and salesman
- senior management disconnected
- sit in corner of office and make decisions
- sears was larger, built worlds largest tower in Chicago
