How Sam Walton Worked
David Senra reads Sam Walton's autobiography and traces how Walmart was built: a work-obsessed founder, tiny towns the big chains ignored for a decade, a willingness to change every day, and a CEO who spent his time in stores, warehouses and loading docks instead of the office. TL;DR Walton grew for ten years in small towns while incumbents were self-satisfied, and his rule was flexibility: every day is a different situation in retail, so change fast and execute the basics.
