Hilarious! Geoff Burch, very funny business speaker

I am Geoff Burch and I'm really touched that people have found my video important enough to comment on but there is a misunderstanding. Firstly of course this is a joke but there is a point and it is not a failing of the employee but a failure of the boss (me!) to share the bigger picture with his people. What I was trying to say is that command and control no longer works - every manager or boss needs to sit down with all their people, exchange ideas and clearly explain the goals.

I've seen Geoff many times before and I think he's not claiming to have the answer to all situations (I agree to a certain extent with adamisstrange about shit pay). Geoff's really talking about the people who's attitude has a negative impact on their work. You can make the best of a bad situation etc. doesn't make the situation any better but it's better than continual pessimism.

Good job. There is always insights in looking at business. We know this from our process redesign and legacy system replacement work. Best Regards George Cre8inc
Goodness me Adam you are strange! To make such a big value judgement from one clip? Have you read any of this guy's books? Most of what he talks about is empowering 'normal' people (ie, non-executives) to take the initiative to start earning for themselves without relying on a boss to provide a wage.
If your job doesn't pay enough there's a simple answer - find a job that does! No business speaker I've ever heard heralds working for a scrooge-like tyrant as a good thing!?!?
