Conversational Intelligence is what separates those who are successful from those who are not - in business, in relationships, and even in marriages.
	Judith Glaser, author of Conversational Intelligence

Maverick Family Event -- Dec 28 - Jan 1, Delray Beach, FL - for parents and children (ages 6 - 16), this unique entrepreneurial experience teaching them about business is a perfect way to ring in the New Year.

Maybe the Most Important Skill -- the spoken word was created 100,000 years ago as a key survival tool - and it's just as vital today. Notes Judith Glaser, author of Conversational Intelligence:  

To get to the next level of greatness depends on the quality of the culture, which depends on the quality of relationships, which depends on the quality of conversations. Everything happens through conversations.

Read Glaser's Introduction, particularly the Boehringer Ingelheim case study which details how changing their conversational approach, Boehringer's sales reps went from being rated 39th out of 40 pharmaceutical firms to "one of the most respected sales organizations in the business." Then read the rest of the book! FYI, Glaser is keynoting the ScaleUp Summit in New Orleans May 22 - 23.

Management is Still Not Leadership -- this latest HBR article by Harvard leadership professor John Kotter does a good job of delineating the difference between lead and management - and why organizations need both. In particular:  

Management helps you to produce products and services as you have promised, of consistent quality, on budget, day after day, week after week. In organizations of any size and complexity, this is an enormously difficult task. We constantly underestimate how complex this task really is, especially if we are not in senior management jobs.

I'm often reminded by my team how I don't appreciate the enormity of executing on our business! Please take 1 minute to read this quick article, including the definitions of management and leadership. Thank you to Sebastian Ross for pointing me to this article.

Businessperson of the Year -- announced last week, I wanted to share more about this little known Nvidia co-founder/CEO Jensen Huang. But first the numbers. Notes Fortune:  

Over the past three full fiscal years, (Nvidia) has increased sales by an average of 19% and profits by an astonishing 56% annually. In early November the company reported results that once again blew past Wall Street's estimates, with earnings per share 24% higher than expected. In its past four quarters, it has generated total sales of $9 billion and profits of $2.6 billion.

And over the past two years the stock has jumped from $30 to $196 as of this morning. The key? A decade ago Huang went all in on AI (artificial intelligence), creating chips that are powering this #1 trend in 2017 (what are you doing to integrate AI into your industry?) while maintaining it's 70% market share of GPUs. Please take 4 minutes (this is your long read over the weekend) and read this Fortune article highlighting the impressive scaling up of Nvidia and their role in the AI revolution.

Mumbai Workshop -- join me in India Dec 6 for a full day Scaling Up workshop. For more info.

YPO BHAG; YPO and EO Join Forces; Operation Toy Story; Happy Thanksgiving

"...insights for scaleups"

HEADLINES:

YPOers Step It Up -- Best BHAG of the Year - in celebration of this being Thanksgiving in the US, and given the devastation in Puerto Rico, we're supporting YPO Long Island members Kevin Donnelly & Kevin Gersh connected with YPO Puerto Rico members Jacob Wegrzyn & Alejandro Uriarte in their launch of Operation Toy Story: Puerto Rico.

10,000 Toys for the Displaced Children of Puerto Rico -- these entrepreneurs are stepping up to help brighten the holidays and give some hope to the many kids across Puerto Rico that were displaced from their homes by Hurricane Maria. Operation Toy Story is toy drive for the thousands of children that were displaced by the storms and are currently living in shelters (churches, school gymnasiums, community centers, etc.). When it became apparent that many of these children would celebrate the holiday season this year with no gifts, the team launched an effort to lift the kids' spirits in these dark times by collecting gifts at holiday parties and by launching toy drives inside their own businesses.

EO and YPO Chapters Unite -- The idea has caught fire and is spreading across both EO and YPO chapters across the US. The goal is to deliver the gifts in time for Three Kings Day, or Los Reyes Magos, which is one of the most significant holidays on the Puerto Rican calendar (January 6th).

Looking for Companies to Join -- if your company is looking for a cause this holiday season, join the effort and run holiday toy drives at your own locations in an effort to help these YPOers reach their BHAG of delivering 10,000 presents. If you would like to join the effort, you can find more details at www.operationtoystory.com. It's pretty simple to join the effort - just collect new, unwrapped gifts and ship to the address on their web site for delivery to their Jacksonville staging facility no later than December 18th and the team will take care of transportation and distribution to the kids. For questions, you can email the team at [email protected]

Happy Thanksgiving! -- I love this time of the year - a reminder to give thanks for all we have and to give to others. I hope you'll support this one-of-a-kind effort - or create one of your own.

Businessperson of the Year; 215 Lives Saved; 13.5% Productivity Gain; getAbstract Interview

"...insights for scaleups"

HEADLINES:

When I thought about it afterwards, I realized that it was all about flow. If you eliminate these narrow choke points that occur along the way, you can get people seen and evaluated sooner by the correct specialist.
	Dr. Kevin Menes, treating 215 gunshot wounds in Las Vegas

Businessperson of the Year -- Fortune just announced their surprise winner. Not well known but he's leading the AI revolution with his products - Jensen Huang, co-founder and CEO of Nvidia. More on him and the list next week, but first...

Hundreds of Lives Saved -- this article, detailing the night a small hospital in Las Vegas received and treated 215 penetrating GSWs (gunshot wounds), is riveting - and holds many lessons for business. First, visualizing and preparing for worst case scenarios ahead of time. Second, utilizing the "theory of constraints" to identify and eliminate bottlenecks to maintain flow. It's mindboggling that Dr. Kevin Menes had the foresight and insight to save so many lives from the worst mass shooting in Vegas history. Thanks to Anne-Marie Faiola, founder & CEO of Bramble Berry and Soap Queen, for sharing this story.

Power of Working from Home -- granted, even though this well-designed research study was conducted with 500 call center employees in China, the results are impressive. Notes this TED talk article:

It was unbelievable. Ctrip saved $1,900 per employee over the course of the study on office space, and we knew this would happen," Bloom says. "But to our amazement, the work-from-home employees were far from goofing off - they increased productivity by 13.5 percent over those working in the office. That's like getting an extra day's work from each employee." The people working from home also reported shorter breaks and fewer sick days and took less time off.

And attrition rates were 50% lower. The fun fact that surprised me? In the US, the number of employees who telecommute has tripled over the past 30 years, although it's still only 2.4 percent. I would have thought it was a lot higher. I don't think they are counting solo entrepreneurs.

Huge, Inc.'s Five Minute Meetings -- this WSJ article details how:

Annoyed by a calendar clogged with hour-long meetings, Aaron Shapiro, chief executive of Huge Inc., a 1,500-employee New York digital agency, has started holding five-minute meetings. Rather than booking a conference room for 30 minutes, he makes minor decisions in five-minute huddles with colleagues. When employees ask to meet with him, he conducts deskside "drive-bys" with each one.

This excellent article shares many examples of companies using daily huddles, underpinning the power and importance of this simple routine - a critical habit our competitors fail to support resulting in lost time and opportunity for clients. Thank you Jocelyn Lortie, owner of Canada-based Paguette Textiles, for sharing this article.

#1 on Fortune's New Future 50 List -- these are 50 companies poised to define the future - and atop the list is SalesForce.com. Read Adam Lashinsky's insight article about why Fortune ranked Marc Benioff's firm #1. It includes a list of the six people Benioff most admires and what he's learned from each (worth the read) - and I like this summary of the three "chapters" of the company's history (three BHAGs?):

...the cloud (1999-2009), the customer (2009-2017), and the Age of Intelligence (2018-).

How would you frame each of your last ten years as a way to frame the next? It's a lengthy read, so maybe a Sunday morning thing! Enjoy.

How Coca-Cola, Netflix, and Amazon Learn from Failure -- written by Fast Company magazine co-founder Bill Taylor (I mention, because I love most everything Taylor writes), this HBR article highlights that a success rate that is too high is dangerous. And there are proper ways to fail. What I found most fascinating, reports Taylor:

Smith College, the all-women's school in western Massachusetts, has created a program called "Failing Well" to teach its students what all of us could stand to learn. "What we're trying to teach is that failure is not a bug of learning it's the feature," explained Rachel Simmons, who runs the initiative, in a recent New York Times article.

Anyway, it's worth the 2-minute read as a reminder to fail more and faster!

My 10-minute Interview with getAbstract -- one of the ways I find and decide which books to read is by reading getAbstract's summaries of leading biz books. And like all their abstracts, the one they did for Scaling Up is excellent (might be worth sharing with employees who don't want to read the entire book). Recently they interviewed me for my latest thoughts on scaling up - enjoy.

Dangerous Habit; Trillion Dollars; Changing Minds; Jan 30 – Feb 4 Geoversity

"...insights for scaleups"

HEADLINES:

Companies are living, breathing organisms (organizations). As such, the more they can mimic nature the faster they can scale.
	Verne Harnish, Chairman, Geoversity

Designing with Nature -- join me and 40 CEOs/CXOs for five days in the Republic of Panama, along with a world class faculty (several who have created billion dollar firms), Jan 30 - Feb 4. It's our annual Geoversity "The Nature of Business" Executive Program 2018. More below, but first...

Facts Don't Change Minds -- it's been said "the quickest way to end a hot argument is to dump a cold fact on it" - but it doesn't work. In fact, trying to use data/facts/logic often entrenches the other person/people more because of confirmation bias (something Nobel Prize winner Richard Thaler brought to the forefront). So how do you change minds? According to this insightful article in Heleo by Ozan Varol you still use facts, but presented in a different way:

The key is to trick the mind by giving it an excuse. Convince your own mind (or your friend) that your prior decision or prior belief was the right one given what you knew, but now that the underlying facts have changed, so should the mind. But instead of giving the mind an out, we often go for a punch to the gut. We belittle the other person ("I told you so"). We ostracize ("Basket of deplorables"). We ridicule ("What an idiot").

The rest of the article is about how to avoid a confirmation bias in your own mind that can blind you to the realities of your situation/market - something leaders of growth firms can't afford. And in the process, you'll learn how to do this with other people. It's an excellent 2-minute read (which I've read several times). Thank you to Adam Grant for pointing to me this insightful article.

Dangerous Habit -- gossip and gossiping. Notes serial entrepreneur Craig Morantz in his recent blog post:

When we participate in this bad habit, we damage our fragile empathy muscle and become less trustworthy with those around us. It helps us escape the unease and dissatisfaction of life that is intrinsic to the human condition.

But it's so easy to do - and fun. Instead, suggests Morantz:

Let us not speak of other's faults, shortcomings, and personal troubles unless it's with them and with the intention of helping them.

His blog post shares the four ways not gossiping has impacted him personally - and details the harm it does to you, the other person, and the organization. Thank you, Craig, for this important reminder about a dangerous habit that is hard to break.

SmartSheet for Gathering Employee Ideas -- Hugh Smallridge with Ashwood Gifts shared how he's using a simple app called SmartSheet to make it easy for his employees to share ideas. Notes Hugh:

Idea gathering doesn't need to be part of a complicated ERP system. We were tracking on a normal spreadsheet and have just switched to SmartSheet for it. Every employee has the SmartSheet app on the home screen of their phone now (easy access!) so anyone can instantly log any idea day or night. It's a real morale booster for employees if they see their ideas being actively considered and implemented regularly. I just introduced it to all the staff simultaneously at our daily huddle and got them all to log one idea so they knew exactly how to do it.

It looks like a simple yet powerful app for collaborating on a lot of things. Hugh, thanks for sharing with the community.

Tech Accelerator for the Planet -- The Nature Conservancy (TNC) has teamed with Techstars to launch an accelerator for companies out to solve global problems. This Forbes article details the initiative. Serial entrepreneur and Board of Trustees for TNC in Indiana, Will Ditzler, will be one of the participating CEOs in the Geoversity program in Panama. We look forward to learning more.

A Trillion Dollars...of products/services will be produced mimicking insights from nature. Jay Harmon, who built Australia's largest tech firm to a market cap of $3 billion has scaled several firms using biomimicry. He, along with a world class faculty, will spend five days with a select group of 40 leaders from around the globe exploring how we can design our businesses to scale. One of the participants already signed up for Geoversity's "Nature of Business" program, along with Will Ditzler, is David Henderson, who heads up a private equity firm focused on funding companies in the water space.

Jan 30 - Feb 04, 2018 -- Here are the details for the Geoversity Program:

Directed by Geoversity co-founder Dr. David S. Ricketts, Innovation Fellow at the Technology and Entrepreneurship Center at Harvard University (TECH), The Nature of Business Executive Program 2018 (NoB18) takes place in Panama, the epicenter of the Americas. You attend two days of workshops and events at the City of Knowledge and the Frank Gehry-designed Biomuseo bordering the Panama Canal followed by two days of immersion on an 11,000-acre private island conservancy off the Pacific coast of one of the world's richest areas of bio-diversity.

Your adventure starts with a ground-breaking and completely off-the-record dialogue with the legendary video game designer and Ubisoft senior executive Tommy Francois who is leading the creation of some of the industry's most ambitious and outstanding projects. Learn about Geoversity's unusual "game experiment" in collaboration with Ubisoft.

Join an inspired circle of thought leaders in discovering the latest in how:

• Biological systems are informing strategic and competitive decision-making
• Biomimicry is helping companies create new innovative products and services
• Nature is instructing leaders on how to build not just resilient but "anti-fragile" organizations
• Companies are embracing sustainability and eco-efficiency to drive increased revenues and profits
• Workplace design is being influenced by natural environs
• Executives are finding in nature the peace and quiet they need to unleash their best creative and problem-solving talents

The program fee includes local transportation, a plane charter flight over the Panama Canal and the 10,000-acre Mamoni Valley Preserve on the way to San Jose Island; lodging in the historic Central Hotel of Panama City and at the island resort Hacienda del Mar; ocean kayaking; meals; materials; and world-class Junglewood musical performances directed by Grammy-Award winning sound engineer and producer Rob Griffin.

Join us for five days of camaraderie with a select group of fellow "restless creatives" and thought leaders in a diverse and richly interactive program of discovery, adventure and reflection in nature.

For more information and to apply.

Astros Genius; Critical Pricing Idea; Nobel Prize for What; Nov 7 Webinar

"...insights for scaleups"

HEADLINES:

How do you combine the soft information with the hard information in a way that allows you to make the best decisions? That is the crux of what we're trying to do here.
	Jeff Luhnow, Astro's General Manager

LIVE Webinar Scaling Up -- Nov 7th at 12pm ET -- you can sign up here. More below, but first...

Astros Genius of the "And" -- so Sports Illustrated nailed it back in 2012 when they predicted the Houston Astros would win the World Series (although there is nothing "world" about it - sorry rest of the world). This article highlights how, rather than just rely on data, like the Oakland A's did as described in the famous Moneyball book (I'm reading Lewis's new book - outstanding, I'll report soon), the Astros chose the genius of the "and" - to combine the talents of human scouts with data analytics. It's a brilliantly written article, but long. And it points to the fact that your people plus data analytics is more powerful than either alone.

The Potential Principle -- Mark Sanborn knocked it out of the park - a standing ovation at our recent ScaleUp Summit (next one May 22 - 23, New Orleans). SPro and book club members will get a copy of his book The Potential Principle next week. He addresses a fundamental question we need to get better, but "better at what?" Notes Mark:

Better at what? Better at being someone whom others respect, emulate, and trust. Better at being someone who continues to improve and achieve. A person who motivates, challenges, and inspires other through his or her example. You may not have considered it, but these qualities and others define leadership.

This is a gem of a book - clearly written and quick to read. It will provide a great start to the last couple months of the year as we continue to get better.

Critical that CEOs are Active in Pricing -- pricing guru Hermann Simon's latest article in the Marketing Journal highlights research that shows for companies with strong CEO involvement:

• The pricing power was 35% higher.
   
• The success rate for implementing price increases was 18% higher.
   
• Twenty-six percent more achieved higher margins after the price increases, which means they were not just passing on higher costs to their customers.
   
• Thirty percent had a special pricing department, which in turn had an additional positive effect on profits

The article goes on to highlight the keys to making either a high-price strategy or low-price strategy work. It's an important topic (pricing is so strategic!) and one CEOs and top executives need to spend more time understanding. Please read this article.

Noble Prize for Recognizing People are Irrational! -- Richard Thaler recently won the Noble Prize in Behavioral Economics for confirming that people are irrational. And it's because of this that decisions like pricing must be based more on influence theory and psychology than rational thinking - I'm being absolutely serious. This is why leaders constantly mess up pricing and compensation - neither is completely rational and how you structure both must be based on what we've learned about anchoring, bias, etc. Please take 1-minute to read this Slate article on Thaler's Noble Prize. Then read his breakthrough book Nudge.

Saracens Rugby Club on the Value of Nurturing Team -- Margaret Heffernan (read everything she writes - plus her TED talk) analyzes why this rugby team continues to win. Notes her article in the Financial Times:

Saracens won the English Premiership in 2011, 2015 and 2016, as well as the European Champions Cup in 2016 and 2017, and are favourites to claim both titles again this season.

In essence, the owner Nigel Wray, after hiring and firing coaches with "the same alactrity as buying and selling investments" and achieving short-term victories but long-term failure to win titles, decided to take a different approach. Seems the research is clear - teams that stay together win more. So the emphasis shifted to taking care of the needs of the players vs. winning at all costs. Heffernan's article details how they did this - lessons for all of us.

Sammy Sergi Big East Player 3 Weeks in a Row -- and this note from Steve Sergi after seeing my piece last week on IV Vitamin C:

Verne, I meant to send this to you about the Riordian Clinic. Samson is healthier than ever and still credits his time with Dr. Ron and staff with getting him on track with the IV Vitamin C. More importantly, the health check they ran helped us assemble Sam's dietary needs and restrictions, which he still sticks to two years later. THANK YOU

As background, Sammy had become debilitated while at Xavier, unable to get out of bed and diagnosed with a combination of Lymes, black mold syndrome, and depression. After months of taking a bag of meds and getting no better, we flew him out to Wichita and wheeled him into the Riordan Clinic. Five days later he walked out unaided and has not looked back since, leading his soccer team to multiple victories and being names the Big East Player three weeks in a row.

Two Nice Awards -- it's been a fun and rewarding week, except trying to rent a car in Phoenix. First, I was honored to receive University of Delaware's "Siegfried Award for Entrepreneurial Leadership" Wednesday night, named after one of my "students" Rob Siegfried who has scaled a significant nationwide firm called the Siegfried Group. In addition, the 2.5 day program I host for YPO International in various locations each year, specifically the one hosted by Steve Sansom in New Orleans, won an unprecedented three "best of best" awards this year:

• Co-Winner - Best Only in YPO Event
• Co-Winner - Most Impactful Learning Event
• Winner - Most Inspiring Event

If you're in YPO, looks for the course in 2018 in various locations - and now the complete 2.5 day course is online - one of the handful of course to lead you to earning an MBD (Masters in Business Dynamics).

Nov 7 Webinar -- As you know, for over 20 years it's been our mission to help middle market organizations to scale up quickly, yet sustainably and without drama.

You probably already know the basic tools and frameworks from the insights and my books, but the more advanced stuff has been only accessible through our paid trainings and workshops.

That's why I'm so excited to invite you to my live webinar with the Growth Institute to learn how to counter the growth paradox. I'll be sharing our frameworks, along with the most recent (and impressive) case studies of their implementation.

We'll also host a LIVE Q&A at the end of it - so you'll have the opportunity to ask those burning questions.

It's happening on Nov 7th at 12pm EST and you can sign up here
