I always find it interesting when car companies overreach and view the consumer as not bright enough to realize that they've taken their brand and just gotten sloppy and cut corners.The following lessons are based on my teaching philosophy that video can provide a common multimodal experience that can be the basis of discussion. They took some really crappy Chevrolet and said no one will notice if it looks exactly the same but we just call it a Cadillac and triple the price. Tobak: What's the dumbest business move you've ever seen?Īrquilla: When Cadillac came out with the Cimarron. I think the quote was something like, 'If we all got fired today and they brought in a new management team, what would we be doing on Monday?' He ended up with 90 percent of the processor business as a result of that pretty impressive from where I sit. Intel was a memory chip company and Grove realized that, if they didn't reinvent themselves, they'd be out of business.

You know, I think the world's full of talented people who don't apply themselves as well as they could, and to me, I find that rather tragic. Not that my way is always the right way, but I certainly don't want to have a management team meeting and have to explain to someone why winning is important. If you're reasonably bright and bring a strong work ethic and a desire to win, you'll do well at Roto-Rooter.Īrquilla: Yeah, maybe. Then the company was acquired by Ecolab and, well, it just wasn't doing it for me anymore, so I took a sabbatical and then started searching national service companies and something about Roto-Rooter just felt right.Īrquilla: It's not about how smart you are I think it's the intangibles. My first job was with Chemlawn and I grew up through the ranks to become a vice president at 33 or 34. You might want it for the wrong reasons, and then you've really got to assess what you're good at, so I switched to business. I guess that's one of those early life lessons: you can't always be the best at something. I realized that, at best, I'd be average. Now I'll be candid, and it's not easy for me to say this, but I eventually realized there were a lot of people in that major a lot smarter than I was. I started in computer science - engineering because that was the hot field at the time. Tobak: How'd you come to work at Roto-Rooter?Īrquilla: I wasn't sure what I wanted to be when I grew up. Rick has a hell-of-a sense of humor, a burning passion for the service business, and a competitive spirit that every manager, executive, and business leader needs to win in this hyper-competitive global market.
