The Today Show segment is bouncy, short, and fun, as is there style. It did run later than planned -- which is standard. I was listed as author of the "NO A-HOLE RULE," that is progress as I figured it would be the NO A****** rule. Unfortunately, they didn't mention SuccessFactors -- even though there is a great shot of all 400 people shouting "No More Jerks." And my publisher seems to be especially happy that I have called a "professional jerk-buster" on national TV. You can see the segment at this link. Look for "surrounded by jerks" under Wednesday.
It was fun to work with the camera crew and producer, and as Chip Heath warned me, I can't believe how much film they shot -- I'd guess three hours between SuccessFactors and me -- and used perhaps 2 minutes total of that. A weird business.
Most of you have probably heard that great song by the Talking Heads, Once in a
Lifetime, which has that great line: And you may
ask yourself-Well...How did I get here? It sums up the way I feel today.
Am I really a Professional Jerk-Buster? How did that happen? How
did I get here? I am having fun, but it is strange.
Hey, Bob. Congratulations! Great job.
