Just my thoughts #0170

The Japanese restaurant “Hyakushokuya” doesn't hire passionate people. The first recruiter was someone who left out his resume. There are only three menus, and only 100 bowls are sold daily. It's simple, so you learn things in a week even if you're not an expert. Still, the average daily revenue is 130,000 yen. The book's title published by founder “Akemi Nakamura” is “Let's Reduce Sales.” Against performance-oriented management policies. They want reasonable management activities suitable for fractions without overdoing it. However, it was the best-selling company during the Covid-19 pandemic crisis. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Just my thoughts #0061

DuPont, a global chemical company, has one core value: Safety. The company is well known for adhering to its core values which stem from its historical background. DuPont began as a gunpowder manufacturer during the American Civil War. In 1884, DuPont's CEO, Lammot du Pont, was killed in an explosion. This accident stimulated the catalyst for DuPont's realization that safety should be a core value of the company. Here's a true story as an example. Two DuPont employees were on an overseas business trip and needed to take a taxi to a meeting, but the taxi only had seat belts on the passenger side. They would be late for the meeting, but DuPont policy dictated that only one person be put in the cab while the other took a different cab. Core values represent a company's identity and mission, and complying with them is a crucial challenge for any organization. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
