Meet The Boss TV - the long and the short of it

Submitted by PhilDourado on April 10, 2010 - 6:36am.

Here's an edited version of the wonderful Tony Hsieh, CEO of Zappos (bought recently by Amazon's Jeff Bezos). It's a three minute video on Meet The Boss TV, a new free service that I think has its value proposition the wrong way around. It offers the edited version of videos, like this one, openly, but makes you register to watch the 'full version' at 18 minutes long. Listen carefully, Meet The Boss owners, if you stumble across this - It's in the editing that the value is.

Only room here for a few learning points from the book, so if you've read Good to Great yourself, why not add a point that you found powerful, using the comments section, below.

What form of leadership would you recommend for 2010?

Submitted by PhilDourado on December 17, 2009 - 10:48am.

It's that time of year when we look back on what for many has been a tough year and look forward to what kind of leadership we think will be most effective next year. We all lean towards a particular form of leadership, I think. My preference is for servant leadership models, dispersed leadership, leadership that brings people together around a common purpose.

But we all know that you need different forms of leadership in different situations.
