What makes a job profitable, pleasurable and challenging to the same degree? What makes a business a success for both its owners and the public?
The old surfer Jorge Paulo Lemann and his partners and mega-entrepreneurs, Carlos Alberto Sicupira and Marcel Telles, once laid out their basic business principles and values, across 18 items. 
It's impressive how practically every commandment is intimately connected to what a good teacher needs in order to be the administrator of a good jiujitsu school. Let's go over the main ones. 
* A big, challenging dream makes everybody row in the same direction. 
* Good people, working as a team, growing by the measure of their talent and being rewarded for it, is a company's best asset. 
* Focus is essential. You can't be excellent at everything; one must focus on the essential. 
* Everything has to have a boss with responsibility and authority. Debating is healthy, but in the end somebody has to decide. 
* Common sense is as good as great knowledge. The simple is better than the complicated. 
* Picking better people than themselves, training them, challenging them and keeping them is the main task of administrators. 
* Leadership by personal example is vital, both in heroic acts and in small day-to-day gestures. 
* Luck is always the result of sweat. You must work a lot, but with joy. 
* Innovation is useful, but copying what works well is usually more practical. 
* Self-perfecting, improvement and education are constant efforts and must be present in our daily routine. 
* Name, reputation and brand are valuable assets that are built across decades and are lost in days. 
* Cheating and shortcuts destroy a company from within. Ethics pays off in the long run. 
How about your team? Does it have similar values? Oss...
