A Mounting Success: How Vernon Reached The Top
“It’s a quality you’re born with, being an entrepreneur,” says Vernon.

Lesson #2: Be Ruthless
“It's my job for Oracle – the number two software company in the world – to become the number one software company in the world,” says Ellison. “My job, is to build better than the competition, sell those products in the marketplace, and eventually supplant Microsoft and move from being number two to number one.”
Lesson #3: Question Convention
“The most important aspect of my personality, as far as determining my success goes, has been my questioning conventional wisdom, doubting the experts and questioning authority,” says Ellison. “While that can be very painful in relationships with your parents and teachers, it's enormously useful in life.”
Lesson #2: “Great companies are built by people who never stop thinking about ways to improve the business.”
Marriott was born into a household poor enough to know that success is never final. No matter how hard he worked, or how much he wanted something to work, the only thing Marriott could be assured of was that change was going to come.

Customer Focus in Process Improvement
A process is a series of steps completed to achieve a particular result. It is hard to imagine a process improvement effort that doesn’t start with a focus on that result with a question like “What is the purpose of this process?” - whether the customer is actually engaged or not. Sometimes we have a strong sense that our product or service is good. Sometimes we choose to “get our own house in order” before we step outside the organization. Sometimes we base the result on a prescription provided by the customer. However, sometimes, our focus may be misdirected to how we do the work without considering why it is done in the first place...particularly where slick new technologies are involved. But, without actually engaging the customer, we can’t really know how well the process is working to provide the customer what they need or want.
I WANT IT AND I WANT IT NOW – The dilemma of employing Gen Y
This kind of thinking is probably what got us all into the terrible financial crisis that is raging across the world like some kind of out-of-control bush fire. The Wall Street credo that greed is good has rapidly become greed is very expensive.

Commitment Based Management
As we move into this new century, we can look back and see that the very nature of work has changed dramatically in the last 50 years, yet our practices of management are essentially unchanged from WWII. What we have done is add technology to a set of practices that were intended to be effective in a time when mass factory production and agriculture made up 95% of the global economy. Unfortunately these same practices are still standard at business schools and big companies around the word.
Minimizing Working Mothers’ Sacrifices: The Power of Making Money Online
Before the start of WWII, women traditionally didn’t work outside the home. But, once the U.S. entered WWII, the government realized they needed a larger workforce to build supplies needed to fight the war. Since a large number of our country’s men were over seas serving in the war, the U.S. government began a campaign to recruit women into the work force.
