There are lots of ways to win...in business or in life. But in order to set yourself up for success, its not enough to be good...you have to start with a clear view of your goal and the critical factors to achieving it. A great brand without a great business model behind it is a recipe for untapped potential.
Everyone's your friend when the sun is shining. True partners dig in when times are tough and point out the rough waters ahead when things feel fine. When we make investments, we don't buy stock, we buy the right to work alongside our management teams to build exceptional consumer experiences and lasting value.
We are obsessed with great brands that consistently deliver true value to their consumers. But a great brand isn't enough - it only sets the stage for the opportunity. Enduring brands and long-term value are built by the people that bring the brand to life. Talent is the true key to long-term success.
