Alan Sugar's Top Tips
Here are some of those lessons:
RESPECT AUTHORITY
KEY LESSON: Authority must be respected. If individuals trying to shine in a competitive situation do so at the expense of their colleagues they will fail.
LISTEN TO YOUR COLLEAGUES
KEY LESSON: "If a room full of people tell me I'm wrong then even I will listen to them," Sir Alan said.
BE FLEXIBLE
KEY LESSON: When you're out in the field, keep an open mind, learn from others and take action.
KNOW YOUR MARKET
KEY LESSON: Knowing your market gives you the upper hand.
CONTROL YOUR COSTS
KEY LESSON: Margin is king and the place to check for potential profit is not in the day's takings but in the amount of wasted product or resource.
DON'T PRETEND
KEY LESSON: In business, never try to be someone you are not - you may well get caught out.
