Customer Reviews
Better Than the McKinsey Quarterly Podcast
I’m so pleased to have found CEO Talk Radio. Along with podcasts from BusinessWeek, Harvard, and Wharton, this has become one of my favorites. CEO Talk Radio stands in such contrast to the McKinsey Quarterly podcast which has been a huge disappointment to myself and many other readers. Instead, give CEO Talk Radio a listen. Great guests and fantastic subject matter.
Can’t Wait for the Book
Professor Barnwell does a great job maintaining the focus on his guests. The nature of his questions and interaction with the guests demonstrate a real insight into leadership and management as well as considerable client experience. Really looking forward to reading his book “Lead, Follow or Get the Hell Out of the Way.” Anyone know when its scheduled for publication?
Great Resource!
CEO Talk Radio is a great resource for some of the latest – as well as some of the most timeless – thinking in business, management and leadership.
