Roy Spence pulls from several corporate examples to show that if a business has a clear purpose in serving the customer, they will success, survive, and make more money.

I was impressed by the approach of focus on your core mission and everything else will fall into place.

One example was Southwest Airlines. Their focus is Affordable and Democratic Air Travel. This drives their decision to keep baggage free, unlike other airlines.

Quite often in the day to day scramble of a business, it is hard to stay focus on the basic goal.
