Sam
Walton, the founder of Wal-Mart, is the most successful entrepreneur
in the history of the world.
Yet to his
dying day, he believed that everyone had something to teach him.
He would engage in conversation with people he'd never spoken
to before: asking pointed questions and then quietly listening
to others talk about their success. Most of the time, Sam would
take notes for use later. He used this same approach when dealing
with employees or customers.
What
lay behind his success?
During
his career, Sam developed a list of what he considered the most
important rules for entrepreneurial success. As far as he was
concerned, there were 10 Key Result Areas which he considered
pivotal to his own success:
Each of these rules is easily understandable
and can be duplicated by all company leaders.
But, like so many things Wal-Mart does, they require a
high degree of organizational discipline to implement. Often,
it is the breakdown in execution of the strategies, not the strategies
themselves, which lead to business failures. In this book, Bergdahl
shows readers how Wal-Mart does it, and how they can too.
