!!! Required Reading !!!

In June, Time magazine ran a story about the business philosophies of Kip Tindell (ceo/co-founder of The Container Store) and John Mackey (ceo/co-founder of Whole Foods Market). Kip and John are kindred spirits because they hold fast to the belief “empowered employees beget happy customers.”

The article is interesting. However, the transcript of the CONVERSATION between Tindell and Mackey is FASCINATING.

This CONVERSATION is required reading for anyone remotely interested in building a business that matters.

I’m on vacation this week. But you can’t take a vacation until you READ THIS.

What are you still doing here? I ain’t kidding you. I am imploring you to READ THIS. (There will be a quiz.)

** Kudos to Lilly Rockwell of the Austin-American Statesman for the heads-up.

Dear John,

I like to read your blog )
But what I dont like are lots of links in a post. I suppose that I will spend certain time in your blog but when I get there I discover that I have to spend 3 times more.

Bad for me as a customer )

Hey John
I tripped over this blog post on the way to something completely different and have to say I'm so glad I did. You're right about the conversation - The article is interesting but pales in comparison to the conversation! Thank you so much for posting it and allowing us to benefit by being a fly on the wall!
More than worth the time.
Take care,
Gail

John,

Just an FYI - the links to the transcript are not working. Bu then again the link in the Time article isn't working either.

Keep up the good work.
Nerino
