Took a break from reading business books last week.
Well thought I had…
Decided to slip in the mafia classic. The Godfather.
I’ve watched the movie many times, but never read the original (Mario Puzo) book.
As well as being a fantastic read. What struck me. Was the togetherness that Don Corleone created within his enterprise.
He created a team. A team built carefully over time. making sure the right people where in the right positions.
A team he could trust. dedicated to make sure his enterprise grew. Doing whatever if took without question.
Yes. I agree. There is a flaw. Most of what they did wasn’t honest & usually consisted of violence & breaking the law.
But take that away & the team (for the most part) was solid, committed & would see a job through to the end.
Having the right team is the backbone of any successful organisation & it’s hard to get right.
In our printer & photocopier technology solution business, it’s taken us years to build the right team.
The difference. Our team is built on Simple Honest Service. It’s a team you can trust & who are always transparent in everything they do.
Unlike Don Carleone’s team…
They’ll do anything (within the rule of law of course) to ensure our customers receive certainty & gain total peace of mind.
