Building a Business to Last.

A Booth School of Business student recently asked me at a book tour event how I’ve changed as a leader since starting my first company. I shared candidly that I’ve learned to prioritize investing in people and culture. The same lesson applies for companies: investing in structures and processes that last is sure to pay the greatest dividends in the long-term.

Hack of the Week

Leadership Hack #1: Always focus on building a company that is built to last, not built to flip. Ironically, if you focus on selling your business, you’re less likely to grow it into something that people will want to buy. But if you focus on building something enduring, that will ultimately help it get sold.
