Anita Roddick

September 19th, 2007

For the next couple of months, or some undetermined period, we will have, as you can see at the top of the right column on this screen-page, a small memorial to Anita Roddick. She challenged all of us is to consider our business, of 1 or 1,0001 employees, a force for positive, broad-based social change, while also contributing to traditional capitalist growth through investable profits and job creation. The right thing is also the profitable thing—a message and method to which I, as well, have devoted my career.

(The memorial also links to this excellent article in the Telegraph, which reports on an interview recorded shortly before she died.)

Third Speech in Three Days in Australia

September 19th, 2007

Tom spoke this morning (Australian time) to the Australasian Agency Principals’ and Sales Managers’ Workshop 2007, at Sanctuary Cove in Queensland. The convention is a gathering of the CEOs of Australia’s leading realtors. As he has done in the past two weeks at Redmond, WA, with key Microsoft vendors, and in Sydney, with retail consumer electronics execs, he tells us, he “took the realtors to task for far too meek a response,” as he sees it, to the “stupendous, mind boggling women-boomers-geezers opportunity.” We are late in posting, because Tom was unable to get on the Web for several hours.
