Guest Presenters


Rockefeller Habits

Presented by James Eling

Managing Director, Extreme Networks

John D Rockefeller built Standard Oil. He became the world’s richest man and the first American worth more than a billion dollars.
A series of habits and best practices have been built out of how he built his company so large and so fast. Some of these are:

  1. Priorities — There are a handful of rules, some of which don’t change much like the core values of the firm and the long-term Big Hairy Audacious Goal (BHAG) and others that change every quarter and every week, and the Top 5 and Top 1 of 5. It’s the balance of short term and long term.
  2. Data — In order to know if you’re acting consistently with your priorities you need feedback in the form of real time data. There are key metrics within the business that you want to measure over an extended period of time, called Smart Numbers; and there are metrics that provide a short-term laser focus on an aspect of the business or someone’s job, called a Critical Number. It’s the balance of short term and long term.
  3. Rhythm — Until your people are “mocking” you, you’ve not repeated your message enough. A well-organized set of daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly and annual meetings keep everyone aligned and accountable. And the agendas for each provide the necessary balance between the short term and long term.

Extreme Networks has been implementing these habits over the last couple of years and James will show you what they have done, what has worked for them, what hasn’t and how everyone can use some of these habits to dramatically increase the profitability and efficiency of their company.


Extreme Networks is a SMBiT Professionals Member.
