Peter Cook

Sex, Leadership & Rock and Roll, by Peter Cook

I once heard a guy called Frank Douglas, a Senior HR VP at Shell, say of large organizations, "We recruit for an orchestra, then berate people for not innovating like a jazz band." Which is, essentially, the theme behind this very enjoyable book, written by one of our Hub members, Peter Cook, though the author favours Rock'n' Roll as a balance between structure (orchestra) and chaos (jazz)

The Secret Of Success

I just came across this in Hub member Peter Cook's book Sex, Leadership and Rock & Roll

"I have learned throughout my life as a composer

chiefly through my mistakes and pursuit of false assumptions,

not by my exposure to founts of wisdom and

knowledge." - Igor Stravinsky

 

Oh, yes. Reminds me of that old story about The Secret of Success:
