culture matters

It’s been a couple of interesting weeks with a lot of work and a lot of interesting reading. One company that has really caught my eyes is Zappos.

 

Why? Well they have been building a super strong culture/religion with the right people which all buys in to it and clearly builds and maintains it (and now culture got a life of its on). Amazing how people doing something like answering phone calls all day can feel so empowered and so free to go out of her way to satisfy a customer, and guess what the company culture supports just that. Amazing! I am really impressed and so should you! If you haven’t checked them out yet, do it!

Cape Town gearing up!

Been spending the last week in Cape Town, at Travelstart office, beautifully located just off Long Street with a great view over Lions head. It is always great to come back to the city I love so much and to the office with all the great people I have missed.


Been away for 4 months and so many things have happened in Cape Town, it is really sizzling for the World Cup that will take place in approximately 1 year. Hotel´s, new shopping malls, restaurants and little fashion and art galleries are popping up all over town. I have experienced many of these new ones one positive one is that I have for this week stayed at a great boutique hotel called Grand Daddy just 1 minute from the office, they have decorated really really nice, with some modern caravan´s on the roof in which you can stay in. I am staying in a suit that got everything you can dream of. The owner of the Daddy brand has really succeeded in capturing his desires for the brand in his hotels. Been a true pleasure to live his dream for 1 week.

Cape Town continue to be such a great and beautiful place! If you haven´t been here, you must go!
