I attended a full day conference today...a national management conference at the Mandarin Oriental Kuala Lumpur. Organised by the Malaysian Institute of Management (MIM). The star or the focus of the day was basically Robert J Herbold and his book Seduced by Success. He was COO of microsoft before forming his own outfit. Another addition to the already crowded management/leadership and business books space...hahaha. Well, he has some interesting observations but on browsing his book, I could not help noticing that he had picked up alot of material from the FORTUNE magazine...heheh. When he started talking and began his comments on SONY...hmmm it sounded familiar as I had read a similar inteesting write up about sony from the fortune magazine....I think we should give the welshman a chance at turning around sony...hahaha. I saw a few familiar faces at the national conference, supiah suid divisional director, CIMA Malaysia, Hashim of BTP, my hostel mate at KGV in the early 70s who is now at MAMPU and a few long lost friends...heheh. I always get bit irked when malaysians prefer to listen to 'matsalehs' rather than their fellow malaysians...and were willing to pay much more but negotiate profusely when engaging a local fellow consultant! hahaha. People from other countries were more willing to listen to us then our fellow citizens! hmmmmm. I changed my mind about having a foto taken with herbold as wadi had already done so...hahaha. don't want to be seen as competing with him...heheh...go checkout his blog (on my links...chevening scholar...heehee).
