I had the pleasure of meeting Tony, CEO of Zappos at the Inc 5000 Conference (Our company made the list, #2597). Their company’s success is truly inspiring. The foundation of any companies success is it’s core values. Here are Zappos’s core values:
- Deliver WOW Through Service
- Embrace and Drive Change
- Create Fun and a Little Weirdness
- Be Adventurous, Creative and Open Minded
- Pursue Growth and Learning
- Build Open and Honest Relationships with Communication
- Build a Positive Team and Family Spirit
- Do More with Less
- Be Passionate and Determined
- Be Humble
Thanks for sharing, Eric… these values are a wonderful basis for any company. Zappo’s is the kind of company I would hope most companies would aspire to. And yes, I’m jealous you got to meet Tony. But now I can at least say that I know someone who met him 🙂 LOL
Awesome stuff! Tony’s book is a great read btw, and #4 is how I live my life practically.
