The path to a hostmanship culture
paradoxically does not go through the guest. In
fact it wouldnt be totally wrong to say that the
guest has nothing to do with it. True hostmanship
leaders focus on their employees. What drives
exceptionalism is finding the right people and
getting them to love their work and see it as a
passion. ... The guest comes into the picture
only when you are ready to ask, Would you prefer
to stay at a hotel where the staff love their
work or where management has made customers its
highest priority? We went through the hotel
and made a ... consideration renovation.
Instead of redoing bathrooms, dining rooms, and
guest rooms, we gave employees new uniforms,
bought flowers and fruit, and changed colors. Our
focus was totally on the staff. They were the
ones we wanted to make happy. We wanted them to
wake up every morning excited about a new day at
work. Source Jan Gunnarsson and Olle Blohm,

Mr. Foster and his McKinsey colleagues collected
detailed performance data stretching back 40
years for 1,000 U.S. companies. They found that
none of the long-term survivors managed to
outperform the market. Worse, the longer
companies had been in the database, the worse
they did. Financial Times

A pattern emphasized in the case studies in this
book is the degree to which powerful competitors
not only resist innovative threats, but actually
resist all efforts to understand them, preferring
to further their positions in older products.
This results in a surge of productivity and
performance that may take the old technology to
unheard of heights. But in most cases this is a
sign of impending death. Jim Utterback,
Mastering the Dynamics of Innovation
61
To grow, companies need to break out of a
vicious cycle of competitive benchmarking and
imitation. W. Chan Kim Renée Mauborgne,

When asked to name just one big merger that had
lived up to expectations, Leon Cooperman, former
cochairman of Goldman Sachs Investment Policy
Committee, answered Im sure there are success
stories out there, but at this moment I draw a
blank. Mark Sirower, The Synergy Trap
63
Not a single company that qualified as having
made a sustained transformation ignited its leap
with a big acquisition or merger. Moreover,
comparison companiesthose that failed to make a
leap or, if they did, failed to sustain itoften
tried to make themselves great with a big
acquisition or merger. They failed to grasp the
simple truth that while you can buy your way to
growth, you cannot buy your way to greatness.

wrote the software. We fixed them by doing it

functions for references so you can become
conversant in their world. (Its one helluva sign
of ... GIVE-A-DAMN-ism.) 4. Invite counterparts
in other functions to your team meetings.
Religiously. Ask them to present cool stuff
from their world to your group. (B-I-G deal
useful and respectful.) 5. PROACTIVELY SEEK
EXAMPLES OF TINY ACTS OF XFX TO
ACKNOWLEDGEPRIVATELY AND PUBLICALLY. (Bosses
ONCE A DAY make a short call or visit or send
an email of Thanks for some sort of XFX gesture
by your folks and some other functions

XFX Social Accelerators. 8.
When someone in another function asks for
assistance, respond with more alacrity than
you would if it were the person in the cubicle
next to yoursor even more than you would for a
key external customer. (Remember, XFX is the key
to Customer Retention which is in turn the key to
all good things.) 9. Do not bad mouth ... the
damned accountants, the bloody HR guy. Ever.
(Bosses Severe penalties for thisincluding
public tongue-lashings.) 10. Get physical!!
Co-location may well be the most powerful
culture change lever. Physical X-functional
proximity is almost a guarantee of remarkably
improved co-operationto aid this one needs
flexible workspaces that can be mobilized for a
team in a flash. 11. Formal evaluations.
Everyone, starting with the receptionist, should
have a significant XF rating component in their
evaluation. (The XFX Performance should be
among the Top 3 items in all managers
evaluations.) 12. Demand XF experience for,
especially, senior jobs. For example, the U.S.
military requires all would-be generals and
admirals to have served a full tour in a job
whose only goals were cross-functional
achievements. 13. XFX is PERSONAL as well as
about organizational effectiveness. PXFX

Growth Is Driven by Women. Source Headline,

  • W gt 2X (C I)
  • Women now drive the global economy. Globally,
    they control about 20 trillion in consumer
    spending, and that figure could climb as high as
    28 trillion in the next five years. Their 13
    trillion in total yearly earnings could reach 18
    trillion in the same period. In aggregate, women
    represent a growth market bigger than China and
    India combinedmore than twice as big in fact.
    Given those numbers, it would be foolish to
    ignore or underestimate the female consumer. And
    yet many companies do just thateven ones that
    are confidant that they have a winning strategy
    when it comes to women. Consider Dells

One thing is certain womens rise in power,
which is linked to the increase in wealth per
capita, is happening in all domains and at all
levels of society. Women are no longer content to
provide efficient labour or to be consumers with
rising budgets and more autonomy to spend. They
are increasingly becoming directors, managers and
entrepreneurs. Some studies have shown a
correlation between the presence of women in
managerial positions and a companys financial
results. This is just the beginning. The
phenomenon will only grow as girls prove to be
more successful than boys in the school system
and enrol in higher numbers in universities. For
a number of observers, we have already entered
the age of WOMENOMICS, the economy as thought
out and practiced by women. Those Chinese who
desire that their only child be male may soon
realise that a daughter could be a better
investment. Bosses know full well that a team of
both men and women is more creative and efficient
than one comprised of only men. Source Women

There is a misconception that supportive
interactions require more staff or more time and
are therefore more costly. Although labor costs
are a substantial part of any hospital budget,
the interactions themselves add nothing to the
budget. Kindness is free. Listening to patients
or answering their questions costs nothing. It
can be argued that negative interactionsalienatin

or limiting their sense of controlcan be very
costly. Angry, frustrated or frightened
