Mr. Walton used humorous and interesting language to create this book, so that readers will not feel as boring as reading general economic and management books, nor will it be so burdensome to understand. Instead, in concise and vivid reading, the secrets of management are vividly displayed on the page, allowing readers to get deeper into their minds. He also told us a truth through this book, first you have to give people responsibility, then you have to trust them, and finally you have to supervise them. Just like treating employees, we must make them live a better life and make them believe that they can create a better future through themselves, so that they can contribute more of their strength and enthusiasm.
Speaking of "Wal-Mart", the first word that comes to everyone's mind is definitely "Fortune 500". From a small start-up in the retail industry to a giant all over the world, Wal-Mart's rapid development is definitely a legendary story. This is due to the fact that he still implemented the concept of cherishing every penny ethically from the beginning of his business and even later when he became a Fortune 500 company. The thinking of managers is also very important. They must learn to follow the pace of the times and change the management model. If it remains unchanged forever, it will eventually be eliminated by the torrent of the times.
When most people read autobiographies, they always want to find the path to success of great people and find a way out for their own decadent life. This book is the autobiography of Wal-Mart founder Sam Walton. It records the various efforts and attempts made by Sam from starting a business to growing in a very real and down-to-earth manner. But the part that touched me the most in the whole book was in Chapter 18. Sam dedicated his whole life to Wal-Mart. His passionate and happy life was built on his career. Even bystanders can feel his love. He can take the lead in shouting slogans to his employees. He only has customers in his mind, and he wants to give them the biggest discounts. Sam looks back on his life, which was all focused on his career. Has he ever regretted it? Whether he regretted not spending more time with his family or being so harsh to his colleagues? In fact, everything he did was because of love and pure liking, which gave him the strength to persevere throughout his life.
Successful people always have their own secrets of success and their own unique charm. Sometimes not failing is a good thing. This successful person was lucky enough to avoid several failures. The experience of not failing greatly increased his confidence. There was an expectation of success that made him believe that no matter how big the challenge was, he had reason to believe that he could succeed. Sometimes failure can make people full of fighting spirit, but sometimes failure can make people doubt their abilities and think that they cannot succeed.
The autobiographical story of Sam Walton, detailing Sam Walton's journey from a small shop to creating the world's largest retail giant. In the book, he shares his business philosophy, experience, and wisdom, as well as how he successfully established and developed the Wal-Mart supermarket chain in a highly competitive market. The book covers his business strategy, team management, supply chain management, and emphasis on customer service and employee development. It is worth learning.
I especially like Sam's business philosophy, his ideas and concepts are really innovative. Moreover, the language in the book is humorous and easy to read. However, I kind of hate people who are jealous of Sam's success and always try to get in his way. But Sam never gives up, which I admire. This book gave me a deeper understanding of retail, and I recommend it to all my friends who are interested in business!
It is a very true autobiography and very practical. I benefited a lot from reading it and there is a lot worth learning. I really like Sam Walton, a frugal entrepreneur, and even more so, his passion for the work he does. This is the most worthy thing for us to learn from. From a person who has never done retail, through continuous learning, he finally became a giant. Maybe this is the key to making our company strong!
Very beautiful very beautiful
At first I thought it was an old routine, but then I got into it. Looking back on my own sales experience, the more I read, the more I felt it was very good. Anyone in business should read this book again. Some truths, although simple, are really hard to hold on to. What's actually new about humans? Billionaires are also accumulated bit by bit. You have to be diligent and use your brain when doing things.
Worth a look hahaha
Successful people can turn their lives into appropriate notes and blend into the strong voice of the times.
During the Great Depression, an American retail giant created a legendary business empire.
The text brings a sense of picture, and what's even better is the processing of local culture, which allows Chinese people to read without cultural gaps. The translator's word processing is very smooth! Strong foundation!
The writing is very detailed. At a glance, we can understand how Wal-Mart has grown step by step. It allows us to understand Wal-Mart better. It is a book worth reading!
A must-read for retail stores
Super-era marketing ideas, the concept of instant retail, the business bible that customers are God, and the concept of saving every penny spent wisely.
