These new boats just took to the water as ramp up for 2011-2012 America’s Cup World Series.
What a brilliant idea from a self made billionaire who built his fortune with IT innovation. He uses the same innovation and tenacity to push sailboat racing in a new direction just as he did with corporate management.
Backstory:
Man: Larry Ellison
Corporation: Oracle
Management technique: demand 20% turnover in workforce every year.
Along with having fun following the new America’s Cup World Series, I find this example inspires me to fire 20% of my efforts every year in order to make the other 80% of my efforts perform their best. Every year.
Happy New Year.
Fair Winds, James
