I'm not the only one who enjoyed the Charlie Rose interview with Jim Collins last week. Collins is an "entrepreneurial proffesor" who operates an academic think tank in Boulder, Colorado and has written two books on succesful organizations, most recently "Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap... and Others Don't". He had some interesting things to say about leadership, academia and being married! As always, Charlie Rose probed deep into the mind of Jim Collins to dig out every valuable nugget of insight in this fascinating man's brain. If the transcripts didn't cost $12, or if I had money I would order a copy. Since Charlie Rose doesn't get enough random fan adulation, here is my tribute:
Charlie Rose: A Great American Amazon Access: found while writing the paragraph above, it's a version of Amazon for the visually impaired. Works great for the seeing, too. Even more recommended, but old news by internet standards, is Amazon Light. Blog frenzy: Angry Asian Man, Just a Gwailo, George Will (banned in China!), and China Weblog.
