What they should teach at Harvard...

Last night we saw a wonderful movie: “Jiro dreams of sushi.” This is a movie about sushi and yet it's not just movie about sushi. It's a movie about how to succeed at running a great business.

To start with, you need raw passion, a veneration for simplicity, a great talent if possible, patience, dedication, relentless desire to improve, paying attention to quality, picking the very best suppliers, carefully watching customers and considering the environment. Most of all, you don't need to be large to be great and when you're so good, location is even unimportant...

The 81 minute business lesson was powerful and awe-inspiring. Too bad Harvard and other big-name business schools don't use that film as the basis for their business curriculum!
