Anita Roddick
The growth of The Body Shop is testimony to the fact that you don't need to waste money on costly advertising campaigns to be successful. Instead, we've always relied on word of mouth and stories.

The key to handling problems and conflict within an organization is to keep the channels of communication wide open.
Anita Roddick
The bigger you grow, the more intimate communication has to be. It almost has to be belly and belly.

That's the worse thing because lack of intimacy is one of the downsides (of growth).
Anita Roddick

Anita Roddick

The beauty and the fashion industry want to control you. And the way that they do it through your body. So once they control your body they control your purse and the products you buy. Its a fantastic strategy and it's working.
Anita Roddick
When you take the high moral road it is difficult for anyone to object without sounding like a complete fool.
Anita Roddick
You have to look at leadership through the eyes of the followers and you have to live the message. What I have learned is that people become motivated when you guide them to the source of their own power and when you make heroes out of employees who personify what you want to see in the organization.
Anita Roddick
First, you have to have fun. Second, you have to put love where your labour is. Third, you have to go in the opposite direction to everyone else.
