Kip Tindell
About this listen
Kip Tindell, the founder and CEO of The Container Store, reveals the seven secrets to keeping both customers and employees happy and all fully engaged.
"You're going to sell what? Empty Boxes"?
Back in 1978, Kip Tindell (Chairman and CEO of The Container Store) and his partners had the vision that people were eager to find solutions to save both space and time - and they were definitely onto something. A new category of the retailing industry was born - storage and organization. Today, with stores nationwide and with more than 5,000 loyal employees, the company couldn't be stronger. Over the years, The Container Store has been lauded for its commitment to its employees and focus on its original concept and inventory mix as the formula for its success. But for Tindell, the goal never has been growth for growth's sake. Rather, it is to adhere to the company's values-based business philosophies, which center on an employee-first culture, superior customer service and strict merchandising. The Container Store has been named on Fortune Magazine's "100 Best Companies to Work For" list for 15 consecutive years. Even better, The Container Store has millions of loyal customers.
In Uncontainable, Tindell reveals his approach for building a business where everyone associated with it thrives through embodying the tenets of conscious capitalism. Tindell's seven foundation principles are the road map that drives everyone at The Container Store to achieve the goals of the company. Uncontainable shows how other businesses can adapt this approach toward what Tindell calls the most profitable, sustainable, and fun way of doing business. Tindell is that rare CEO who fully embraces the "Golden Rule" of business - where all stakeholders - employees, customers, vendors, shareholder, the community - are successful through a harmonic balance of win-wins.

Realizing early on that he could not compete and win by playing the same game his bigger competitors were playing, he decided to build a store for educated people of somewhat modest means. In this way, Joe laid down a blueprint for other business owners to follow to build their own unique shopping experience that customers love, and a work environment that employees love being a part of.

Developing and implementing a strategy is the central task of a leader. A good strategy is a specific and coherent response to - and approach for - overcoming the obstacles to progress. A good strategy works by harnessing and applying power where it will have the greatest effect. Yet, Rumelt shows that there has been a growing and unfortunate tendency to equate Mom-and-apple-pie values, fluffy packages of buzzwords, motivational slogans, and financial goals with “strategy”.

Now they've turned their research and analysis to a new vital business subject - customer loyalty - with a new book that turns the conventional wisdom on its head. The idea that companies must delight customers by exceeding service expectations is so entrenched that managers rarely even question it. They devote untold time, energy, and resources to trying to dazzle people and inspire their undying loyalty.

Fred Kofman's approach to leadership has little to do with the standard practices taught in business school and traditional books. Bringing together economics and business theroy, communications and conflict resolution, family counseling and mindfulness mediation, Kofman argues in The Meaning Revolution that our most deep-seated, unspoken and universal anxiety stems from our fear that our life is being wasted - that the end of life will overtake us when our song is still unsung. Material incentives - salary and benefits - account for perhaps 15% of employees' motivation at work.

Eventually every job and every business will become irrelevant. According to Jason Jennings, the past few decades have seen unprecedented shifts: former third-world nations have transformed themselves into high-tech manufacturing powerhouses; technology has democratized business and increased competition in ways never before seen; and customers, used to getting exactly what they want when they want it, are no longer beholden to the corporate giants.

When Mark Rampolla filled a notebook with potential start-up ideas, his wife asked him some tough questions. What about this idea is exciting, beyond the possibility of a profit? How will it fit into a life that makes you and your family happy? How will it change the world? Eventually Mark found his great idea: coconut water. He had seen the developing world use coconut water, but this valuable resource was being discarded in the US. While taking on the beverage industry was a big goal - high-hanging fruit - it was worth the risk.

Starting in 1997, Bob Chapman and Barry-Wehmiller pioneered a dramatically different approach to leadership that creates off-the-charts morale, loyalty, creativity, and business performance. The company utterly rejects the idea that employees are simply functions to be moved around, "managed" with carrots and sticks, or discarded at will. Instead Barry-Wehmiller manifests the reality that every single person matters, just like in a family. That's not a cliché on a mission statement; it's the bedrock of the company's success.

In early 2012, Jim Tselikis visited LA and met up with his cousin Sabin Lomac. Over a few drinks they waxed nostalgic about their childhood in Maine, surrounded by family, often elbow deep in delicious lobster while gathered around the picnic table. From this strong memory was born the very first Cousins Maine Lobster food truck. Smart, authentic marketing, and sustainable, delicious ingredients helped turn that one food truck into an overnight sensation.

Great Biz story!
The author reads his own book and tells the story of how the container store grew from a little store in Dallas, to a nationwide chain, with conscious capitalism leading the way. Loved it.

This book will help you build passionate teams.
Would you listen to Uncontainable again? Why?
Healthy relationships is the key to getting anything done that requires more than one person. I will read this book again because I am always looking for ways to help the people I serve to get better at relating to other people.
What does Author bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
The author brings his passion to the book by the way he spoke about what it took to build a team of people who are knowledgeable and passionate about doing their job and doing it well.
Any additional comments?
As an attorney who has practices both business law and employment law for 24 years, I have learned a lot about what makes some teams more effective than others and why some relationships work and why some do not work. As a life-long learner, I am also always looking for better ways to do difficult things such as building, managing, and leading effective teams.I read this book after going to a Container Store to find certain items for my office and home. I was really impressed by two things: (1) the consistency of the high level of knowledge that the store employees had concerning the merchandise, and (2) the passion that each employee showed in the way they did their job. I was pleasantly surprised to find a book written by the former CEO, Kip Tindell. Kip Tindell walks you through the process of what it takes to build an effective team of people who are knowledgeable and passionate about what they do. I recommend this book to anyone who wishes to do the same.

Conscious capitalism at it's best!
What did you love best about Uncontainable?
I enjoyed listening to this book by Kip Tindell, it describes thoroughly what conscious capitalism is all about and what are it's benefits for "everyone" in a company.
Four main points in this book that I truly admire:
1. Communication is essential for a company to flourish
2. Respect towards everyone
3. Having good quality products at a reasonable price
4. Giving "skilled" employees a good salary better than the average pay
What about Author’s performance did you like?
Kip Tindell's narration was on point and well understood.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
It was inspirational to read how two men could be so inspired by organization. Organization and great human values make a great company.

Excellent Story. Just a little long
Excellent story and very inspirational. Very glad I listened. However it did get just a little long winded in places - sometimes the same point was made and discussed a hair longer than needed. Very much enjoyed it!

Some great ideas
I learned some great things for my company and have already started implementing them. However Kip only talks about how great everything is and everyone. It never really talks about any trials or issues he or the company ran into. Every vendor is perfect, every employee is perfect, every store opening is perfect.... You get the idea.
Overall good book.
