1.
Do what you love to do Find your true passion. Do what you love to do a make a difference! The only way to do great work is to love what you do.
2. Be different. Think different. "Better be a pirate
than to join the navy."
3. Do your best. Do your best at every
job. No sleep! Success generates more success. So be hungry for it. Hire good
people with passion for excellence.
4. Make SWOT analysis. As soon as you join/start a company, make a
list of strengths and weaknesses of yourself and your company on a piece of
paper. Don't hesitate in throwing bad apples out of the company.
5. Be entrepreneurial. Look for the next big thing. Find a set of ideas
that need to be quickly and decisively acted upon and jump through that window.
Sometimes the first step is the hardest one. Just take it! Have the courage to
follow your heart and intuition.
6. Start small, think big. Don't worry about too many things at once.
Take a handful of simple things to begin with, and then progress to more
complex ones. Think about not just tomorrow, but the future. "I want to
put a ding in the universe,” reveal Steve Jobs his dream.
7. Strive to become a market leader. Own and control the primary technology in
everything you do. If there's a better technology available, use it no matter
if anyone else is not using it. Be the first, and make it an industry standard.
8. Focus on the outcome. People judge you by your performance, so
focus on the outcome. Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren't used to an
environment where excellence is expected. Advertise. If they don't know it,
they won't buy your product. Pay attention to design. "We made the buttons
on the screen look so good you'll want to lick them." "Design is not
just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works."
9. Ask for feedback. Ask for feedback from people with diverse
backgrounds. Each one will tell you one useful thing. If you're at the top of
the chain, sometimes people won't give you honest feedback because they're
afraid. In this case, disguise yourself, or get feedback from other sources.
Focus on those who will use your product – listen to your customers first.
10. Innovate. Innovation distinguishes a leader from a
follower. Delegate, let othertop executives do 50% of your routine work to be
able to spend 50% your time on the new stuff. Say no to 1,000 things to make
sure you don't get on the wrong track or try to do too much. Concentrate on
really important creations and radical innovation. Hire people who want to make
the best things in the world. You need a very product-oriented culture, even in
a technology company. Lots of companies have tons of great engineers and smart
people. But ultimately, there needs to be some gravitational force that pulls
it all together.
11. Learn from failures. Sometimes when you innovate, you make
mistakes. It is best to admit them quickly, and get on with improving your
other innovations.
12. Learn continually. There's always "one more thing" to
learn! Cross-pollinate ideas with others both within and outside your company.
Learn from customers, competitors and partners. If you partner with someone
whom you don't like, learn to like them – praise them and benefit from them.
Learn to criticize your enemies openly, but honestly.
