The Mentisor Soapbox 24 Oct 2011

The Mentisor Soapbox is a weekly talk-radio forum for Senior IT and business professionals to take a light hearted stab at discussions affecting the business, IT and consulting industries.

This week #in the Mentisor Soapbox we discuss:

• Gadhafi – he went from a man of the people – to his people’s worst nightmare; does absolute power always corrupt absolutely?  What does this say about the narcissistic tendencies of our own business and political elites?
   
• How do you set professional development goals for team members?  Annually, quarterly, weekly?  How often do you review and adjust?  What happens in the event of failure?
   
• What is the role/necessity for the “Second in Command”?  Merely a second-fiddle?  First follower?  Chief of Staff?  Operations and planner?  Go between or stand-by?
