Theme 2: Leading from the Front - Zeitgeist Europe 2010

Over the past year, business leaders have endured one of the most challenging economic climates in decades. In this session we hear from those who have emerged from the crisis stronger than ever. What can we learn from their leadership in developing strategies to thrive during difficult times? What has been the impact on their approaches to innovation, product life-cycles and brand management? Do changes represent a long-term shift or will things eventually return to normal?

I am not bothered about people spending loads of money on fashion (so long as animals are not harmed and forced labour is not used in construction). BP spilling their black death across the Gulf of Mexico - now that bothers me. They knew their rig wasn't safe and they didn't fucking care. I am a Green Globalist and am NOT impressed with BP, not even a little.
