Summary

Conor Neill is the President of Vistage in Spain and a Professor of Leadership Communications at IESE Business School.


One of the most important phrases in business is, do the next right thing. That phrase is one of the most powerful phrases in business as discussed by Conor Neil. It is, do “the” next right thing, not do “a” right thing, you got to know what you’re doing. So for “the” to apply, you got to know where you’re going to do next.


One of the ways to do nothing is to be thinking about a hundred other things. The next thing is the only place we can make a difference, it’s right here right now. This is the most important part of it all in the journey of an entrepreneur, a sense of what is right. What’s the path to the next million right things and that right thing comes from each of us. The right thing differs in each person. The right thing for your friend may not be the right thing for you and this causes a lot of questions. Who they are and what should they do. The business for each people differs from each other.
