IDEAS FOR LEADERS: "I'm your singer..."

original post from Seth Godin

Keith Richards tells a great story about Charlie Watts, legendary drummer for the Stones.

After a night of drinking, Mick saw Charlie asleep and yelled, “Is that my drummer? Why don’t you get your arse down here?”

Richards continues, “Charlie got dressed in a Savile Row suit, tie, shoes, shaved, came down, grabbed him and went boom!

“Don’t ever call me ‘your drummer’ again. You’re my … singer.”

No drums, no Stones.

Who’s playing the drums in your shop?
