Company inspirational story: open your head by one centimeter

There is a company in the United States that produces toothpaste. The products are excellent and the packaging is exquisite. It is very popular among consumers. The annual turnover is booming. The records show that the annual growth rate of the first ten years is 10-20%, which makes the board of directors extremely excited. However, performance has entered the eleventh year, and in the twelfth and twelfth years, it has stagnated and maintained the same number every month.

The Board of Directors was dissatisfied with the performance of the three-year performance and held a national managerial high-level meeting to discuss countermeasures. During the meeting, a famous young manager stood up and said to the board of directors: "I have a piece of paper in my hand. There is a suggestion in the paper. If you want to use my suggestion, you must pay me another 50,000 yuan! The president listened very angry and said: "I pay your salary every month, and pay dividends and rewards. Now I am going to come to the meeting to discuss, you have to ask for another 50,000 yuan. Is it excessive?" "Mr. President, please don't misunderstand. If my suggestion does not work. You can discard it and don't have to pay for a penny. “The young manager explained. “Good!” After the president took the paper, he immediately signed a 50,000 yuan check for the young manager.

Only one sentence was written on the piece of paper: the existing toothpaste opening was enlarged by 1 mm.

The president immediately ordered the replacement of the new packaging. Imagine that every day, every consumer uses 1mm of toothpaste, how many times more toothpaste will be consumed each day? This decision has increased the company's turnover in the 14th year by 32%. Inspiration

A small change often leads to unexpected effects. When we face new knowledge, new things or new ideas, don't seal your head. After that, you should open your head 1mm and accept new knowledge and new things. Perhaps a new vision can give us a lot of inspiration to improve performance and improve our lives.
