What vs. How

by Julie Vollenweider on October 16th, 2009

I’m reading Dov Seidman’s  book about one simple concept: It’s not what you do that sets you apart, but how you do it.

 

May I present as an example a recent plotline from one of my favorite TV shows, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia:

    • What the characters like to do is drink wine.

    • How they drink it is out of a Diet Coke can.

 
Similarly, at Brain Traffic, what we do is … Plan for and create content that’s:
 
    • Useful

    • Usable

    • Purposeful

    • Profitable

 
But more importantly, how we do it is with …
 
    • Teamwork and a values-driven culture

    • Incredibly high standards for good work

    • A clear purpose and laser-focus on content, just the content

 
These are some of my very favorite things about Brain Traffic. Another favorite thing is that hilarity is actually a company value.  Can you tell?
