book reader: Het geeft idee over success in business, maar ook om hoe een interessant leven te leiden waar business helemaal niet op de eerste plaats staat. En nog een bijzonder informatieve verhandeling over geluk. Lesgevend in business citeer ik dit boek vaak en krijg de klas steeds weer dubbel van het lachen met incidenten.

Tony and his team of 700 still run Zappos.

Zappos is an online retailer of shoes, clothing, bags and handbags, housewares and other products. They provide free shipping (both ways, in case your shoes don't fit) and a 365-day return policy. Their niche is customer service, customer service, customer service.

So what can you learn from Tony and his team? Tons!
