You've got to be kidding? First, if having PWC listed on the board behind you is any indication of credible your awards ceremony is, I pity you, I truly do. Second, "True Business Leadership is about Change?" And, the bit about business leaders having to be "futurists". What a load of tripe!!!
True Business Leadership isn't about seeing the future first, or creating the future first: True Business Leadership is the application of concepts, methods, principles and strategies, which...
@rjc071 Well true leadership is being worth following - all leaders are defined by followers. But you cannot be worth following unless you know where you are going and can convince people you know how to get there (strategy). Management is about the systems and processes. Many people are excellent managers, but few are great business leaders.
@DavidAKZ Yes, speculative attack on stock of a company can be very destabilising. Few CEOs in my experience think their current share price is based on rationality and logic. Other factors including mood and emotion.
I love the new CC Subtitle option from YouTube - Transcribe audio! Woo Wee funny! :) I never knew you spoke about chickens and Iranians and serpents so much! Way better than mad libs.
@pjvdixon For subtitles (at least when I view this video) it seems you've managed to activate a new YouTube feature on the "cc" closed caption button which (if you flip it on) will attempt a speech recognition number on your voice. :D
It's actually amazing how good it is all things considered.. But it still has a way to go to move past "mad libbing" what you said with snakes and chickens. Maybe it was programmed with American English and your proper enunciation throws it for a loop? (grin)
Of course if it works, a BRILLIANT IDEA - even if only 75% accurate because for the first time it gives Google search engine and YouTube the possibility to READ contents of a video. Until now limited only to keywords, text of video title etc and of course comments.
Yes - SUSTAINAGILITY will be published in May - a major work on green tech revolution and how it will help save the world profitably. The $40 trillion green tech boom will offer some of the greatest business opportunities for 30 years.
One area I feel suffers from a "copycat culture" is advertising. With car manufactures for example I find a lot of the advertising irreverent to both me and the product. They try to sell a lifestyle that just don't seem to fit!
A few are exceptions, Honda being one example, and the recent Renault EV advert was quite interesting too.
I know this wasn't quite relevant to the video, but I think companies spend to much time looking at each other and not at where they can innovate.

How long can you have a successful business when (for example) Goldman are shorting your stock ?

Yes interesting - they are piloting it I think on a few videos and this is one of them.

Great to have you back Patrick. How come you have been so quiet recently? A new book in the pipeline?
