This young man is 11 months old –
and he isn’t our youngest customer
by any means. For 7-Up is so pure,
so wholesome, you can even give it
to babies and feel good about it. Look
at the back of a 7-Up bottle. Notice that
all our ingredients are listed. (That isn’t
required of soft drinks, you know – but
we’re proud to do it and we think you’re
pleased that we do.) By the way, Mom,
when it comes to toddlers – if they like
to be coaxed to drink their milk, try this:
Add 7-Up to the milk in equal parts,
pouring the 7-Up gently into the milk.
“Areas where our existing beliefs
and experiences preclude us from
having the most enlightened view
of how to lead people effectively.”
90%
of all strategies
aren’t well
executed.

JEFF BEZOS BANNED POWERPOINT IN HIS MEETINGS
“Narrative

THE PROBLEMS
MOST ORGANIZATIONS
FACE CAN BE DIRECTLY
TRACED TO THEIR
INABILITY TO
THINK AND TALK
TOGETHER.
— William Isaacs
PEOPLE WILL
TOLERATE THE
CONCLUSIONS OF
THEIR LEADERS…
…BUT WILL ACT
ON THEIR OWN.
WHEN WAS THE
LAST TIME YOU…
…were truly listened to?
…felt your idea’s were valuable?
…believed you were critical to
solving the problem?
DIALOGUE STARTS WITH
GREAT QUESTIONS
1. When you die of natural causes,
what do you die from?
2. When you loose weight, where does
the fat go?
3. If it takes oxygen for a fire, how can
the sun burn so brightly without any
oxygen?

ORGANIZATION

DIALOGUE STARTS WITH
GREAT QUESTIONS
ABOUT YOUR ORGANIZATION
1. Where in your business should you self-attack or disrupt
before your customers or competitors do?
2. What strategic opportunities should you be more aggressively
going after?
3. What should you stop doing to free up critical resources?
TRUST
People will not do the right
thing unless you tell them
what to do and hold them
accountable to do it.

TRUST STATEMENT
“We claim that we are customer maniacs, but in the end, we are finance
and control maniacs who don’t trust our people would do the right thing
for our customers and our business if we took the controls off.”

“It is being comfortable with some things you can’t control
and that some stuff will get created in the field that you are
not proud of. But the reality is that for every one of those,
you will get 20 that are way better than anything you could
have ever thought of. Plus, it has an energy and a
momentum that you could never create in a corporate
boardroom or in a training department.”
— Phil Cordell
Senior Vice President New Brand Development, Hilton Worldwide
TRUTH
My people feel safe
telling me what they
really think and feel.
BLIND SPOT
A TRUTH TELLING CULTURE IS DIFFICULT TO ACHIEVE
Can I be sure my comments will be taken
the right way and my intention is for the
good of the business?
If I talk about things from my perspective,
will people think less of me because of
my answers?
If I say what I really think, could that be
a career-limiting move?
EMPLOYEE
Is critique an indictment of my leadership?
What if I don’t have all the answers?
If we really have an open door, will we just
have a compliant session that won’t help?
I am not comfortable with how vulnerable
I have to be if we really put everything on
the table.
LEADER
If I speak up and disagree, will I be the
team member who doesn’t get to play?

RESTAURANT
“We say we are a
people company,
yet we don’t
prioritize developing
people. We aren’t
good at it and don’t
like doing it.”
MANUFACTURING
“We don’t set stretch
credible goals that
are owned and
believed in through
execution.”
BE THE SPARK TO
CHALLENGE YOUR
EXISTING WAYS.
