More wisdom from Bob

[businessexpertschris]

What a great attitude from such an enormous company. Good to see

[mikebowen123]

Nice to see a down to earth CEO! I'd like to work for him, but am probably not smart enough!

[nickolaswinder]

Loved it, a great little knowledge bite!

[meenieob]

I hate to show my ignorance but I didn't know anything about Bob Young (have since googled and see he is a software entrepreneur - Red Hat/Lulu). Anyway the video shows he has a pretty logical and upbeat way of ensuring he has the best people in his team.....providing interesting projects for them to work on and appreciating that your business is actually what you staff make it.

[truckies2]

Bob Young is a very passionate guy

[kelcanderson1]

very passionate and a very definete leader

[businesstvAmanda]

I Love bob young and agree with the general consensus that you should love what you do other wise it makes for a very long week

[BusinessExpertLouise]

I agree businessexpertsmatt, there is no fun in doing something you dislike. I am pretty sure that all of us can relate to your comment. I once worked 6 hours a day in a juice bar where there were about 6 customers a day. As you can imagine, I wasn't there long!!

[bimport52]

Visually less distracting once focused in onhead and shoulders, understood message but could have been more succinct, came over well as leader

[blomjo]

Every once in a while you as a manager has to hear something obvious to start doing something.

[womannie]

An unassuming guy with a great philosophy - no wonder he's been so successful

[businesstvrebecca]

Very true, you do do a job better if you enjoy doing it, both in your career and personal life

[businessexpertsjax]

Bob is so right! Let me take this video and show it to all those bad bosses that we have worked with in the past... this is self explanatory - I don't know why some people just don't get it!

[wildedan10]

Having a nice guy presenting makes such a difference, he comes across very well and friendly, didnt feel as though I was being dictated too!

[EllinMay]

Makes sense to me. I had hoped he might say something a little revolutionary too but maybe it's as simple as that...

[bossamg]

Informative and very low key. Yes, he is modest.

[businessexpertsmatt]

If you don't love what you do; you are doing no favours for yourself or the business you are in!

[smackersteve]

do you think he would hire me if i wore a lulu cap all day every day

[businessexpertsdan]

keep moving forward to keep your best staff!

[tonedefh]

I defiantly agree that flunking a project and jobs that just drag on really makes your pay cheque more and more important.

[BusinessExpertsNat]

Take care of your staff and your staff will take care of business.

[BusinessExpertLouise]

I have worked for some extremely good employers who have shown they value there employees. I have also seen the other side where this hasn't happened and it didn't make for a fun place to work. I agree totally with Mummybynight, it would be nice for every employer to value their best people!

[sawta074]

Yip totally agree! Gotta keep your staff happy for better productivity

[brookeanderson13]

great tips thanks!!

[alices7654]

He is so right, it's a shame that so many managers can't put this theory into practice!

[businessexpertandre]

alices7654, this is because most managers don't understand the key impact that each and every staff member can make on a business

[Mummybynight]

Completely agree with this comments I wish every employer valued their best people as much as him very few seem to!

[lloveless55]

I have been involved in recruiting in the past. I think that there are many shortcuts being made in this area and it is costing businesses a lot of money.

[emilliedwyer]

I wish i could work for a person with this outlook on their staff.

[davetheredhead]

love his excited style...

[businessexpertsdan]

Such a great speaker! He's always so chipper!

[businessexpertsmatt]

Great people make great businesses! Makes sense to me.

[businesstvdavid]

More good stuff from Bob Young.

[SpringsBest]

Why wasn't my last boss more like this guy!

[businessexpertsalli]

Bob's advice is very true. I find that many businesses aren't investing enough time in their employees these days and worrying more about sales and profits.

[jimmydean98]

Good advice and a great way to look at staff.

[crewzr]

solid advice, just wish he would tighten the springs in his neck...made me dizzy

[businessadvice]

He's certainly a very animated character!

[drqena]

Its pretty common sense stuff. Lots of people go off the board, and hire pple for lots of other reasons rather than someones passion. Look at how many people bullshit on their cvs.

[businesstvAndie]

Bob is so right about the fact that one should work closely with their staff to understand what motivates them.If your staff enjoys what they are doing then they will try to go the extra mile to excel at that job. One of my past bosses was very employee focused and as a result we all used to enjoy working for him and never minded doing extra hours when required. I wish more companies did that.

[MajicF]

I always have a rule. Always try and hire people smarter than you. At the end of the day, they have to take over jobs you are probably doing yourself, and for the sake building on success, whatever the business ws doing before has to continually improve.

[businessadvice]

good tip thanks!

[MajicF]

well, it's so common for team leaders and managers to hire people that aren't as good to not reign on their own ego. Business misses out then..

[toddcassie]

Good common sense stuff.

[toddcassie]

Great to see what google is up to.

[jittyslitter]

This show should be screened at Arsenal Football Club! If you don't win the title for years in a row, your good players leave!

[morefootspeed]

completely sound. knows where true responsibility resides for making projects work - at the top. getting the right people is part of that.

[businesstvrebecca]

I agree, Bob, as always makes alot of sense

[anjulibahadur]

Synergies - Anjuli

He has give sound advice on recruiting and keeping the staff.

[businessexpertandre]

Apparently the opposite is happening at Microsoft right now where they are starting to get staff retention problems.

[BusinessExpertLouise]

You look at how many people succeed in an area that they enjoy...relating that to business is a fantastic idea.

[businesstvkelsi]

Great advice, I liked the way he related the idea to if you enjoy something you will generally be better at it.

[businesstvmark]

Spoken like someone who has built successful companies!
