In The Pink
I was reading through the latest copy of The Training Journal (as one does) and I came across a familiar name.
From 2-5 of December this year there will be a big event in London about leadership. Some of the usual suspects will be there (Daniel Goelman and Rudy Giuliani) as well as a few curve balls (Garry Kasparov). One of the more interesting speakers is Daniel Pink, who will conducting a masterclass on ‘Building An Innovative & Creative Organization’.
I’ve blogged on Dan’s books before, and yes, it’s still my favourite book in the business/psychology field. Heck, I liked it so much I emailed the author with a few of my thoughts. And I was surprised to receive a fairly prompt, fairly substantial reply. Not many international speakers and writers could be bothered to do something like that, so well-done Dan!
See him in action on YouTube.
Another good one is
