5 Lessons from IBM

They’ve made it 100 years, so must be doing something right. Here’s the flash notes, click through for the details:

  1. At the start, convince the troops you’re a company of destiny, even if that seems crazy.
  2. Build a cult-like culture that people either buy into, or run away from.
  3. Bet the company once in a while.
  4. Make people talk about you.
  5. Hand off to a successor who is better than you.
