핵심 내용
When Dying Companies Discover the Power of Less
In 1997, Apple was weeks from bankruptcy. The product catalog had ballooned to over 40 confusing models. Retail partners barely understood what they were selling. The brand had lost all meaning. Then Steve Jobs walked back in and did something that seemed suicidal: he slashed 70% of the product line overnight. Board members panicked. Analysts predicted disaster. But Jobs understood something most leaders miss-complexity isn't growth, it's cancer. By cutting ruthlessly down to four core products, Apple didn't just survive. It became the most valuable company on Earth. This wasn't luck. It was simplicity weaponized. Great companies don't just make things. They exist for a reason so clear that a child could repeat it. When Jeff Bezos started Amazon, he didn't talk about logistics or inventory management. He said: "One click away." That's it. Those three words guided every decision, every feature, every frustration they eliminated. A simple mission isn't corporate poetry-it's a filter that stops bad ideas before they waste resources. Consider Ben & Jerry's. They started as two guys in Vermont hoping to make $20,000 a year selling ice cream. No grand vision. But over time, their social conscience became inseparable from their product. Today their mission combines three elements: make great ice cream, run a profitable business, and contribute to positive change. When they take controversial stands on GMO labeling or climate issues, they risk alienating customers. But Jerry Greenfield argues the benefits outweigh the costs. Employees feel pride. Customers feel connection. The mission attracts people who care about the same things. Or look at StubHub. Cofounder Jeff Fluhr initially dismissed mission statements as corporate nonsense-until his growing company desperately needed alignment. They landed on "Where fans buy and sell tickets." Simple. But notice what it emphasizes: fans, not venues or teams or artists. That focus helped them defend against fierce industry opposition, arguing they were simply empowering people with free-market choice. Without that clarity, they might have caved to pressure and compromised their model. The mission isn't marketing copy. It's the thing that makes hard decisions easy. When you know what you stand for, you know what to say no to. And saying no is where simplicity lives.
