YOUR PROFESSIONAL NETWORK

business. And the only way you are going to get that broader perspective
is to make sure that you are out there in your networks.
In those networks you pick up information and bring it back into the
business.

27. THE LEAN STARTUP MODEL
HELPING CORPORATIONS BE ENTREPRENEURIAL
The core of this entrepreneurial philosophy is pretty straightforward:
1. Define your idea | plan
2. Market test the concepts and assumptions (hypotheses meet
experiments)
3. Build a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) | Prototype
4. Roll out new features/designs that are responsive to the market
rather than “predictive” of the market
5. Test, test, test
6. Rinse and repeat

introspection | both in my organization as well
as in my personal life.

35. • WE DO NOT LEAD an organization, department or group;
and your people do not follow strategic plans, fancy goals
or year-end reports | THEY FOLLOW A PERSON
• Often, our understanding id diluted with operational plans,
goal setting, revenue and sales forecasting, cash flow, HR,
compliance and the company’s bottom line.
• How You Influence Others is the Most Important
Part of Leadership
You Are Messing with Peoples’ Lives!

36. Individuals are hard-wired to belong
To groups and communities
That acknowledge their existence, accept them
And help them define their identity.
