As soon as I saw this video series I couldn't help thinking "Purple Cow". This is almost the same argument that Seth Godin makes with regard to breaking in to new markets. His term for Creators is marketers, pioneers are early adopters, Followers are early and late majority and finaly the Settlers are what Seth calls the Laggards. It is the same theory applied to management rather than marketing. That doesn't mean it's not good its just not orginal. Ric
