    Summary Proverb

    Summary Proverb

    We will close this series with a proverb that I use to conclude many of my seminars. It illustrates that what most businesses need, is not clarification on what is the right thing to do, but the courage to not give in to short term gratification.

The best podcast on Professional Services

Thanks god I found this on David Maister’s website, whom I consider the foremost authority on how to build a world class Professional Service firm. He has been my hero ever since I stumbled upon the bible of the industry he penned: Managing a Professional Service Firm.
These are clips of speeches David made to industry audiences. He speaks with great passion, using compelling real world stories and illustrations. If you want to get what it takes to groom and keep A-players, build clients for life and shape great firm cultures this is your place to start. Then read his books as well.

Pretty much everything you need to turn your business around

I had the pleasure of meeting David at PodCamp Boston, and his podcast and videocast may be the best medicine you can get for your business or organization. Take the time to watch and listen, but give thought to his topics after each episode, then apply them. The results will be more than worthwhile!

Almost damage my ipod

The video format is not suitabled for ipod video. It takes long to download and it froze my ipod. Nevertheless, David Maister is a great motivator and speaker. He makes very insightful points of view on how to manage a business.
