Absolutely inspiring and full of simple life-affirming truths, Charles Handy beautifully traces a path to effective leadership at a time we desperately need it. An excellent lecture.

I was one of those lucky students sent out into the world by Charles Handy to write down what I saw - over 20 years ago. I still have the paper and refer to it now!

00:48 "Drucker is worshiped by those who live in the real world, but is slightly dangerous for those who live in the academic towers."
2:00 'Guru' or charlatan
5:08 Peter said he learns nothing from reading books, only from writing them.
6:30 You learn (an enormous amount) by writing and you learn by talking
16:00 The "professionals" made profit the goal, no matter however you might achieve it. THEY TOOK WHAT WAS A MEASURE AND MADE IT A GOAL.
17:55 "If you have targets as the goal, you will forget what you were there for." (The financial engineers = the products of the business schools)
26:40 Consumer may be the new cancer of society
28:30 There is a lot of money to be maid in DIFFERENT as opposed to MORE. Go where there are no competitors, BE DIFFERENT.
39:20 As a leader, can you take a risk with somebody? Can you give them a sense of self-belief? That is the GREATEST GIFT you can give anybody - his theory of education, his theory of leadership.

the most inspiring speech - which I've just passed to a friend who's just started lecturing...Particularly appreciated the reference to the American management book - "The Puritan Gift" which is indeed one of the best critiques
