Great job, Frank. #6 in particular resonated with me, having been through similar sessions in jobs gone by. Do you have any stats on what % of corporate HR "initiatives" fail? Probably too high a number . . .

And thanks for including that clip. What a great message!

Regards,
John

There is SO MUCH more that people can do (get away with?) in Europe. (Well, unless you talk about your competition directly, which is a capital offense in many countries.)

But even without such a stark image, one could still be bold in the story they tell about their firm. Setting aside the shock value, this picture sets a very immediate tone -- and they could've told a similarly strong story without being quite so (ahem) graphic.

Thanks for posting that, Frank!

Nice riff on that sign, Frank. Reminds me of seeing signs (yes, plural) in Harrod's in London, along the trail that led to "Father Christmas" (their version of Santa Claus). The first sign I encountered read "Four hours" . . . Makes three minutes look like a blip.
