  • I like how this guy constantly looks down at his notes like a life preserver. I am curious what his actual CEO experience on a personal level is.

  • A guy at work keeps telling a story of revenge shortly after being made redundant from a previous job.

    He somehow managed to blag the job of children’s entertainer (‘BIG BILLY’) at the CEO’s daughter’s 4th birthday party. At the end, he gave envelopes with “Billy’s special party messages” to all the kids. These contained horrible pictures off the internet of murder scenes, autopsies & human rights abuses. He was prosecuted, but the judge called his actions “forgivable in the circumstances”.

  • 6 people don't wanna be a CEO!

  • Ang galing ng videong ito, nakakainspire sa mga kabataan.

  • I want to be a CEO!!

  • I think having the skills to be a successful CEO is a lot about your natural leadership skills.

  • irony is successful CEOs neither have time nor inclination to listen to or follow such videos. Prof like these, they just examine lives of successful CEOs and interpret in their own ways and publish them. And people like you and I listen to them in a vain hope that we would one day become a successful CEO after listening and following this. I think successful CEO is all about execution with commonsense and intelligence.

  • YOU CAN SEE THE SEXUAL TENSION BETWEEN THESE TWO...I BET THEY MADE OUT AFTER THE INTERVIEW....lol..

  • Who the hell is Joseph L Bower?

    A Harvard teacher but with what backing him?

    I don't understand this, how can someone teach and give advice in such an adverse subject with no field experience?

    He's been a teacher at Harvard for 45 years, how old is he right now?

    Did he seriously start teaching BMA right when he graduated? How does that work?

  • dikke kinderkanker

  • kankerzooi 

  • its tremendous inspiring video,,,,,,,,,

    thank u sir

  • Inside almost every large organization people complain about too many managers and too few leaders, but all the real leaders most companies hire are quickly forced out or assigned to the hinterlands because they challenge the status quo, which is typically a little gang of cronies at the top. Companies talk about developing leaders but they develop managers.

  • The way Bower tries to explain himself is quite unclear, with unfinished phrases and uncomfortable demeanor.

    This is why I never truly respected self-proclaimed "entrepreneurs". They seem to try hard at sounding like they understand more about business or managing or whatever they want to call it, when they lack even the words to describe what they want to do. Business people sound usually very limited, because of this.

  • @noizereduction Interesting perspective, sir. I feel that entrepreneurs are the life blood of this country. It sounds like you've been around one too many arrogant business people. At the end of the day, we are trying to sell ourselves, though. However, humility can go a long way.

  • @noizereduction Self-proclaimed "entrepreneurs"? what does that even mean ? If you're a person that looks for gaps in markets and then creates businesses that fill that gap and provide good products/services to the world then guess what... you're an entrepreneur... it's something you DO not something you "proclaim" yourself to be. As for people who can't communicate with clarity, go seek out your OWN teachers that you respect and who you can learn from and start their and quit complaining.

  • Asking right questions to yourself and to your team is always the Key !

  • This guy is stuck in the 50s and 60s. Companies don't help anyone or train anyone to do anything. You have to prove yourself on a social level.

  • Semantifi developed a meaning based search platform to search both structured and unstructured content and filed multiple patents. Semantifi addressed key challenges to searching structured data across the 'search stack'

  • JESUS IS THE WAY TO GOD!  TRUST JESUS TO BE SAVED!

  • @JesusPaid4You the black one or the white one with the abs and all

  • Last year my wife left me for some asshole guy. It makes no sense at all- I’m a CEO and he’s an office admin douchebag content to earn $60k a year!

    At the end of the day if she wants to waste her time with filth, that’s up to her, but I don’t want him infecting my kids with his lazy-ass attitude to life. Already I can see them being less ambitious in school. It’s so unfair & I’m so cut up about it I’m now in counselling- I just don’t know what to do about the situation…

  • @SuperTruth77 if you hire me i will promise to beat him up for you. ALL I NEED IS A 60K SALARY LOL

  • @SuperTruth77 I dono why you mentioned this story here and now? But what I can tell you two things 1- is that you may suck as a CEO as you could not manage one person... 2- this douchebag could be a better than you since you evaluate people based on their income, think about it..

  • I express this to our CEO's (those who have the financial to build). We need to invest in things that are important to society. We need to invest in Tree farming for lumber. We need to invest in Farms for food just in case we run out of food. We need to stop investing in balogny things.

  • The greedy corporate cock sucker within you!

    Make sure you lick corporate asshole and back stab your colleagues while stepping on the faces of your subordinates on the way up the ladder of success. Don't forget to lie, cheat, and spin the truth any way you can. Never settle for less than an astronomically high salary while denying livable wages for your front line workers. Brag what an asset you are to the company, then walk away with a "golden parachute" while the company collapses to pieces .

  • The dude on the left is a straight sloucher lol

  • avoid lcarcus paradox!

  • Great advice indeed!

  • Daily Sense...

    Too difficult to understand...

    The secret alchemy of this phenomenon...

    Don't hide...

    Behave like...

    A Mensch...

    Kind of person others want to follow by acting honourably...

  • Los masters estan amaestrados para SER emplleados en lugar de ser Propietarios de su negocio.

    CEO suena muy bonito, pero no dejan de ser Gatos Ejecutadores de Ordenes. (Cats Executive Orders). Gatos fino y bien pagados, pero dejan de ser Gatos.

    Los problemas que estamos viviendo de avaricia ilimitada, fueron generados por Ex alumnos de estas escuelas de mucho prestigio. Carlos Salinas de Gortari es un Bandido Hecho en Harvard.

  • I really am a believer in community outreach on an individual level. The more you can escape from the corporate/organizational mentality to further expand your views the better (both for your organization and for yourself).
