More quotes by 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
If there is excitement in their lives, it is contained in the figures on the profit and loss sheet. What an indictment.
Anita Roddick
Be daring. Be first. Be different.
Anita Roddick
Every time you buy something consider it a vote of confidence in the company that produced it.
Anita Roddick
Internationalism means that we can see into the dark corners of the world, and hold those companies to account when they are devastating forests or employing children as bonded labour. Globalization is the complete opposite, its rules pit country against country and workers against workers in the blinkered pursuit of international competitiveness.
Anita Roddick
You've got so many groups that have no voice in this world - the indigenous, the poor. So how can I use the resources that I have and bring them up, highlight them. And it's not that difficult. It's just choosing and concentrating and focusing.
Anita Roddick
I have no interest in being the biggest, the most profitable or the largest retailer. I just want The Body Shop to be the best, most breathlessly exciting company - and one that changes the way business is carried out.
Anita Roddick
Since the governments are in the pockets of businesses, who's going to control this most powerful institution? Business is more powerful than politics, and it's more powerful than religion. So it's going to have to be the vigilante consumer.
Anita Roddick
the most powerful bodies in the world, the World Trade Organization, the World Bank, and the International Monetary Fund, are also the least democratic and inclusive.
Anita Roddick
If civilization is going to survive, business and policy-makers must move on, to find within themselves more developed emotions than fear or greed.
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
I wake up every morning thinking...this is my last day. And I jam everything into it. There's no time for mediocrity. This is no damned dress rehearsal.
Anita Roddick
If you don't believe one person can make a difference, you have never been in bed with a mosquito.
Anita Roddick
Three components make an entrepreneur: the person, the idea and the resources to make it happen.
Anita Roddick
When you take the high moral road it is difficult for anyone to object without sounding like a complete fool.
Anita Roddick
Speed, agility and responsiveness are the keys to future success.
Anita Roddick
The movement for the environment really only started in the mid 1970's.
Anita Roddick
All through history, there have always been movements where business was not just about the accumulation of proceeds but also for the public good.
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.
Anita Roddick
I think it's just fear of death. I can't bear to go to sleep. There's very little, you know, between an entrepreneur and a crazy person.
