Thanks
for subscribing to the Bird's Eye View e-newsletter!
We’ve designed Bird’s Eye View in response to requests
from Wf360 clients and partners - and individual participants
in our programs - who want us to "continue the conversations"
introduced Wf360 programs. They asked us to provide busy people
- like you – with ongoing access to the thinking of top
leaders around the world, and with a behind the scenes, looking
at the challenges these leaders face and the solutions they
devise to meet them. In each issue we bring you interviews with
top leaders, we’ll also share new thinking and best practices
we’ve seen emerge from exchanges around the world.

| In the September 2004 issue, you will find
video interviews highlighting the leadership of Keith Yamashita,
a consultant who advises top CEO's on articulating their vision
and putting them to work, and Sheikha Lubna Al Qasimi, CEO of
Tejari (the United Arab Emirate's most significant e-portal.
You will also find a guide to conducting your own small group
meditation at work. In addition, three MainEvent Global Conversationalist
answer questions submitted by the audience. |
Our theme is conversation, and various aspects
of its use as a strategic tool in business.
You’ll find a discussion of a concept we’ve been pioneering,
we call it "compound conversation." There’s an
interview with Maura Breen, who runs Verizon’s retail markets
business (a business facilitates millions of conversations).
With Russia so much in the news, we have a scoop from our COO,
Maria Reiling, on an exchange that took place among a group
of the world’s top young leaders when she was recently
in Moscow among the world’s top young leaders, and, finally
an fascinating interview with Luciano Respini, President of
Dow Europe. |
It’s a pleasure to welcome you to the
first issue of the Bird’s Eye View.
In this issue you will find a fascinating interview with Helen
Alexander, CEO of the Economist who talks about life at the
top of one of the world’s most respected publications.
You can also read about "360 Leadership" and find
out what it takes to be one. On the topic of leadership you
will also find the release of the poll results from the global
leadership program- MainEvent. Where thousands of executives
had their say! And finally, Susan Bird debriefs on her recent
trip to the Middle East, where she attended the World Economic
Forum meeting in Jordan. |
