More quotes by Anita Roddick
We were most creative when our back was against the wall.
Anita Roddick
People I work with are open to leadership that has a vision, but this vision has to be communicated clearly and persuasively, and always, always with passion.
Anita Roddick
Free trade holds much of the blame for continued international conflict. Markets are said to possess wisdom that is somehow superior to man. Those of us in business who travel in the developing world see the results of such western wisdom and have a rumbling disquiet about much of what our economic institutions have bought into.
Anita Roddick
When your back is against the wall financially, creative juices flow.
Anita Roddick
The bigger you grow, the more intimate communication has to be. It almost has to be belly and belly. As you get bigger and bigger in an organization, everything gets more and more detached and everything is on email or voicemail. That's the worse thing because lack of intimacy is one of the downsides (of growth).
Anita Roddick
What we are trying to do is to create a new business paradigm, simply showing that business can have a human face and a social conscience.
Anita Roddick
Get informed. Get outraged. Get inspired. Get active.
Anita Roddick
Communication is the key for any global business.
Anita Roddick
I don't want our success to be measured only by financial yardsticks, or by our distribution or number of shops. What I want to be celebrated for - and it's going to be tough in a business environment - is how good we are to our employees and how we benefit our community. It's a different bottom line.
Anita Roddick
Corporate crime kills far more people and costs taxpayers far more money than street crime.
Anita Roddick
My mother's bottom line was truth to her values. It meant bringing your heart and your humanity to work.
Anita Roddick
Running a company on market research is like driving while looking in the rear view mirror.
Anita Roddick
Traditionally, the role of the individual was to conform to the organization. In the future the organization will have to conform to the needs of the individual.
Anita Roddick
I believe that conventional marketing techniques are increasingly ineffective. Customers are hyped out. They have been overmarketed. They are becoming more cynical about the whole advertising and marketing process.
Anita Roddick
I have always found that my view of success has been iconoclastic: success to me is not about money or status or fame, its about finding a livelihood that brings me joy and self-sufficiency and a sense of contributing to the world.
Anita Roddick
If I had to name a driving force in my life, I would name PASSION every time
Anita Roddick
How can you ennoble the spirit when you are selling something as inconsequential as a face cream?
Anita Roddick
If you pretend that business is beyond morality, that's the kind of morality you get.
Anita Roddick
If there is excitement in their lives, it is contained in the figures on the profit and loss sheet. What an indictment.
Anita Roddick
I want to work for a company that contributes to and is part of the community. I want something not just to invest in. I want something to believe in.
Anita Roddick
