Yesterday on Smashing The Plateau, Paul Elmslie discussed the innovations his company his created in diagnosing, treating, and educating skin cancer patients. His company began in Australia, and is now a global force to make the world free of skin cancer. Below are some of his biggest influences: 1) Verne Harnish The Daily Huddle, The One Page Plan and other concepts that Verne teaches are the backbones of our business. 2) John Spence He helped me realize that business doesn’t have to be complex if you choose the think simply instead. 3) Jack Daly He is a Sales and Culture guru who has done it all. He helps me focus on a few key elements that lead to success. 4) John Di Julius He made me focus on thinking from the customer’s perspective in a new way, including the importance of the CXO (Chief Experience Officer). 5) Tristan White He is the owner of Australia’s number one place to work, who taught me how to create a culture, especially for a geographically spread out business.
