Success or Leadership Quote/Mantra
“The customers will always be in control of our business.”
-Troy Smith
The Chipotle is (as defined in the book):
“The process that allows a small organization armed with a clear vision of product and purpose to match the amazing demand and growth of the social consumer. Most businesses can’t — they are just too slow. Speed, vision, and seeing beneath the surface of society is the key to replicating what Chipotle Mexican Grill has accomplished in the restaurant business.”
The Equation:
Innovation + Idea ÷ Leadership Ability x Consumer Science Understanding
Compounded by Social and Digital Media ÷ Technology Deployment x New Breed of Employee =
New Consumer Love Affair with Brand
