As with about 98% of all business advice, this falls into the category of true-but-useless.

It would be impossible to find a person who actually disagreed with any of those points, or who would be able to pull anything of practical value out of them. As with most things, the devil is in the details.

While the first two ones are really obvious, the last three are often known but rarely applied truly. Virgin employees can think "We're a company also building spaceships". I found this article interesting and useful.

With regards to point 4, for some people, never ever criticizing people or losing one's temper can require a lot of effort.
