Found on Keith Ferrazzi’s blog for his book, Never Eat Alone (that orange book), Antonio Lucio’s (Pepsi’s VP of Insights & Innovation - who knew?) “people centric philosophy”:
- Live to Wow the world….work, family and friends
- Leadership is all about creating environment where people can achieve extraordinary things.
- Be curious about people and you will learn for life.
- To build relationships you always need to add value first.
- Do not ask to be mentored…. Build a relationship with people you admire by advancing their agenda… all else will follow
- Dinners are for non business talk…. But critical for true bonding with business associates
- Follow through on your word and commitment always.
- Vulnerability is an asset…. Not a weakness
- Legacy is measured only by the impact you have on the people you touch
- Balance… is only and issue for those who do not know what they want out of life.
I must say I was duly impressed. Not only at the sentiment, but that a massive company hired someone with this sort of personality (I must say, the archetype of the corporate exec doesn’t exactly match what I see here), but encourages him to really talk about how he conducts business. Good thoughts for the weekend!
p.s. Another favorite list is at tom peters! blog (no relation to bk!): Mimic Lord Nelson!
