Kjell Nordstrom

The 2005 Thinkers 50, the world´s first ranking of management thinkers, ranked Dr. Kjell Nordström and his partner Dr. Jonas Ridderstråle at number 9 in the world and number one in Europe. I've heard him speak at Leaders in London and The North American Conference on Customer Management a couple of times, and interviewed him after he had given a talk to some of Barclays' up and coming leaders whom I was doing some leadership development work with. Kjell is a real catalyst for breaking your thinking out of 'leadership as usual'. Co-author of  Funky Business and Karaoke Capitalism (with Dr. Jonas Ridderstrale). Listening to him, talking with him and reading his books is a bit like being plugged into the mains. Great shock therapy for leaders. Phil Dourado
