1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,240
I'd like to talk about non arguable goals and if possible,

2
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:07,840
Mocha, which is a form of communication.

3
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:10,960
Are you familiar with non arguable goals?

4
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:13,560
Yeah, I think you mentioned that last time.

5
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:15,080
But did I?

6
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:15,800
Yeah.

7
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:19,040
So I mean, a non arguable goal is actually literally something

8
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:20,280
that someone wouldn't argue about.

9
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:25,440
And my favorite example is Paul O'Neill of Alcoa saying

10
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:29,280
that their non arguable goal is going to be employee safety.

11
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:34,920
And the non arguable piece was, like he asked the shareholders,

12
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:38,720
look, if anybody wants to lose an arm working at Alcoa factory,

13
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,600
raise your hand and we'll take that arm.

14
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:47,240
So who's going to argue against that or for that?

15
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:52,360
And he also said at the same time or sometime during that process,

16
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:57,080
anyone who comes to me with a proposal where our company is

17
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,960
going to make a lot of money by sacrificing the health

18
00:00:59,960 --> 00:01:03,480
and safety of our employees or our stakeholders,

19
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:28,080
just shareholders, that person is going to get fired.
