More quotes by Michael J. Silverstein
The choices we make define our future.
Michael J. Silverstein
I believe in classic ideas. They are timeless. They are forever. There are many fads in management.
Michael J. Silverstein
Get out of the office. Roam the frontline. Be observant. Hold your people accountable for creating the new narrative, a new story, in which your customers are the most important characters. Because, you know, they really are.
Michael J. Silverstein
Deliver infinite growth having your customers talk about you, exclaim you and tell their friends and colleagues about you.
Michael J. Silverstein
Respond to your customer's dissatisfactions with precision and power.
Michael J. Silverstein
Find out what schismogenesis means. Schismogenesis is anthropology. It says relationships between people are not stable. They are either moving up or moving down. The same is true for brands. You need to understand where you are.
Michael J. Silverstein
A curious mind armed with skill, experience, knowledge, and patterns can give birth to big brand revolution.
Michael J. Silverstein
Too many companies are happy to have workers to dread working. They have the wrong attitude because they have the wrong leadership.
Michael J. Silverstein
Define a winning proposition that is consumer right and delivers margin accretion.
Michael J. Silverstein
People need to be inspired. They need to hear and believe a story. If you want them to be self-motivated, you need to engage them.
Michael J. Silverstein
Take giant leaps. Too many companies are into incremental innovation. The only thing that moves markets is violent turns. Major differences. Don't get caught in the trap of small steps.
Michael J. Silverstein
People underestimate the power of the Internet. For some consumers, it is the source of all information. Younger adults are on their phones more than they watch television. They don't read newspapers. It is their real world. It is not a set of virtual lenses.
Michael J. Silverstein
I admire many entrepreneurs. They bring energy, excitement, youthful enthusiasm. What they lack in process, they make up for in gumption.
Michael J. Silverstein
Consumers are time constrained, budget restricted and less loved than they would like. Give them a wonderful experience and they will share it. Capture their soul and win big time.
Michael J. Silverstein
Business operators that really deeply care about their employees and consumers deliver the right response every day.
Michael J. Silverstein
The most effective CEOs have a primary source for tracking their markets. They meet with their teams frequently enough to keep innovation flowing, to reduce and focus costs, to be energized. They create a tight agenda and they set high goals.
Michael J. Silverstein
For me, it's often about consumption behavior. I focus my energy on understanding the heavy user. They are odd but hold opportunity. I ask: how do they use the product, what motivates them, how can we clone them.
Michael J. Silverstein
Failure to make the tough but necessary choices means slow painful death.
Michael J. Silverstein
The top 25 at every company really set the tone. Everyone watches them. They need to be present and focused. No slackers at the top. They need to meet in combination every recruit. They need to meet them on the first day. They need to teach by example. This is the lesson that great companies teach.
Michael J. Silverstein
A curious mind does not jump to conclusions but tests carefully and thoroughly. A curious mind will draw on all of life's experience to get to the big uh huh. The curious cut the data by quintile, by segment, and by user.
