Young Entrepreneurs; Tuesday, After Classes [ 09/22 ].
After pushing the desks of the classroom together and putting out the coffee and donuts as usual, Turtle went to the blackboard and wrote on it three quotes:
“Virtue is not left to stand alone. He who practices it will have neighbors.” --Confucius
“Never treat your audience as customers, always as partners.” --James Stewart
“The most important single central fact about a free market is that no exchange takes place unless both parties benefit.” --Milton Friedman
Once everyone had come into the room, she called the meeting to order with a little bang of a gavel.
Man, she loved that gavel.
"Take a second," she began, "to look over these quotes. What do they all have in common? They are all about dealing with other people. As Young Entrepreneurs, dealing with people is something that you'll do an awful lot. There are lots of ways to do this, but almost every successful model of business suggests what these quotes are suggesting: you business partners are just that: your partners. Respect, virtue, and the desire for both parties to benefit is essential in a successful venture."
"...right?"
"I don't know," Turtle grinned a little, reaching for a donut, "you tell me. We've got some very different minds in this group. Do you think the egalitarian type of approach is more successful? Or is it all just optimistic hogwash, and to be successful is to be cutthroat? Let's just have have a good roundtable, yeah?"
