Findings from Deloitte Consulting , as highlighted in its infographic advertisement in the March 2014 issue of The Atlantic magazine caught my attention the other day. Using 45 years of data from more than 25,000 companies , Deloitte Consulting says that 174 exceptional companies stood out from the rest of the pack (344 statistically qualified as "exceptional"). The success of these exceptional companies appeared to depend on a commitment to three rules that govern how exceptional companies think -- under any circumstances. Those three rules are : Better Before Cheaper - Be known for high quality, not lower prices. Revenue Before Cost - Higher revenue is worth more than lower cost. There Are No Other Rules - Make every other choice based on the first two rules.
