Billionaire shares wisdom: Stuff shareholders, first make your staff happy |
2015-11-06 |
[BizNews.com] Here's one in the eye for your run of the mill Business School lecturers and those rabid free marketeers. Shareholders should never rank at the top of a company's priorities, says 83 year old billionaire founder of Japanese electronics giant Kyocera Corp. It's all about making your people happy. Not the most popular message in a country where global surveys show only 15% of employees are "engaged". But one that has stood Kazuo Inamori in very good stead. Great story. And have a look at the bottom to read his "Five Business Tips". -- Alec Hogg |

#5 Stuff the shareholders and your stock price may go down. Better to give stock to the employees so they have skin in the game. |

#1 If your staff are "happy" their attitude will flow into their work. THAT will make the hare holders happy. If the horse ain't happy the wagon ain't going nowhere. |
