Don't just think outside the box...there is NO box

"I went for an interview at dell just before Christmas," Fabian told me.

While he was still in university, Michael Dell told his father: "I want to compete with IBM." His father didn't think that was very funny.

I have often found that if I wanted to break from the pack and stand out from the crowd, sometimes I have to risk being perceived to be as eccentric as Michael Dell, Richard Branson, and all these people.

I make a good living building and motivating high performing sales and marketing teams, but I myself have to get busy deciding what lens to look through each day. Talent and training alone may tee-up high performance but they are not sufficient.
