My Guestbook

Hi Peter, we met I think in 2001 during resi in Cambridge... we ended up playing guitar and piano together in some pub. Great memories. Hope you are all well.

Comment by Peter Cook
Now I read the message correctly, it all comes flooding back - the mere mention of pianos, pubs etc.

My Leadership Log/Diary

The wisdom of honesty??

Listening to Alastair Darling's speech telling us that we are in for a recession made me wonder about the wisdom of honesty in a political system where 'the other sides' are unlikely to applaud him for being candid, hionest, truthful etc.

 Can / Should leaders be entirely truthful in situations where it is almost certainly career limiting?

My groups

The Hub Book Club

The Hub Book Club

Too many books on leadership for one person to read. So don't. Split the reading among the community. Share brains. Compare notes.

Be Inspired

Be Inspired

One minute doses of inspiration - a clip or short story or link - to inspire you

Zen Garden

The Zen Garden

A little bit Zen. A little bit Tao. A touch of ancient mysticism. A pinch of New Age self-enlightenment.

Disney Leadership

Disney Leadership

Walt Disney inspired people to achieve far more than they thought they were able to. This group shares Walt's leadership acts and analyses them.

My Hub History of Activity

Team development through music

Two You Tube videos made by Sky Media as part of a team building / sales development programme

Teams were taken into a studio for the day and wrote / recorded a song irrespective of their musical talents

After this, teams devised an executed a sales and marketing strategy to 'sell' their songs, although there is no 'profit' or 'prize', just the fun of seeing how many downloads they could achieve

There are two songs here, one vageuly reminiscent of Lilly Allen and another a curious mixture of 'Marc Almond and the Cheeky Girls'

Musical Youth

See what happens when 2000 Scouts decide that its time for the adults to move over and they take over a stage at a Jambouree!

 Apologies for the poor video quality - we did this as a voluntary activity to support a Scouting Convention!

You ain't seen nothin' yet

Cameo performance by cult punk rocker John Otway with Peter Cook at the 'aftershow' of a Corporate Conference on career management (and mismanagement in Otway's case!)

Riffs and Myths of Creativity

Here's a little You Tube video we made to virally market the book 'Sex, Leadership and Rock'n'Roll. Feel free to tell others in your network about it if you like the ideas contained within the 3 minute video piece.
