Focusing on the customer is the #1 rule for success… it is a philosophy that works and is displayed in successful companies. Companies that fail most often implode due to a culture that rewards individual departments or people based on style, positioning and power than on the impact to serving the customer. This is evident by the cloud of competition versus the collaborative entrepreneur spirit that has a laser focus on serving the customer... the customer that pays the business for the value, product and services given.
