Michael Jackson 7 Deadly modern business sins

1. Believing business has become justified and craving constant growth from unchanged products goods and services

2. Coveting image at all costs without regard to ethics people or the environment

3. Seeking to reduce every business cost possible with the sole objective of making profit

4. Allowing poor performances to persist and go unchallenged. These kill your brand 

5. Laziness and indifference wrapped in complexity, policy and procedures 

6. Resenting what your colleagues or competitors have ,that you perceive rightfully should be yours

7. Pride. The deadliest of business sins. Glorifying everything you perceive you have built and done
