Re: Verisign to Make Money from Typos

[elliot noss]

Those words are so true. To a great extent we (all of our customers and 
us) need to be that ourselves. The key is to avoid the lack of role 
models justifying bad behavior, as then you will be them.

I will give you a couple role models that work for me. ADP and Intuit. 
See http://www.adp.com/corporate/philosophy.html for an example and 
look how prominently "who/what we are" is on the front door 
www.adp.com. My strong view is that is a CEO ignoring marketing, PR, IR 
and legal and doing the right thing.  As for Intuit, I have met Scott 
Cook a few times and he is simply the real thing. He is easy to google 
and read about.

Hope this helps.

This is exactly the feeling that I got as I read the article.

When I try to run a good clean business, I look to the big companies 
to see what they do.
But sadly, they are no role model, banks, supermarkets, internet, 
phone companies, you name it.  They suck.
