Nothing Is Private - Lessons from Brad Garlinghouse and Howard Shultz
Nothing digitally recorded is private…digital is the new public.
The question is…did Brad Garlinghouse at Yahoo! and Howard Shultz have an inkling (or perhaps full confidence) that a hot memo will get forwarded into the blogosphere and then the mainstream news media?
More like strategic manifestos from Brad & Howard…and quite good ones at that.
Is it such that the only way we can apply pressure for change in corporate America is with the media?
Activist fund manager Carl Icahn certainly thinks so and uses the media to his advantage…Motorola now has an executive shake-up which would likely never have happened without him and the media.
Bob Chapman at Chapman Capital ditto. Bold, righteous, and correct in his analyses.
As Howard Shultz and Brad Garlinghouse blaze new trails of internal activism, are we seeing the birth of a new form of Employee Activism?
Perhaps a good thing.
