Doing the Right Thing - B-Corps With Tim Frick - #55

It seems like every day we see headlines about some public company behaving badly. Whether it is environmental disasters, abuse of workers, or just plain theft, companies often don’t have an overarching mission to do good. This shouldn’t be a surprise, because the main job description for the CEO of a public company is to maximize shareholder profits.

#5: Leadership with Shawn O'Grady - Part 2

Here is the much anticipated Part 2 of our interview with Shawn O’Grady.

Today I am really excited to bring Shawn O’Grady to the show, because Shawn brings a really important perspective to the conversation. As a senior executive at Insight Enterprises, a 9 billion dollar technology reseller, he has a unique perspective on the business operations of a large company, but he is also constantly in the field talking with customers and working with them to find critical solutions to their problems, so he has a great perspective on what is happening in the industry. He has led technology companies through IPOs and mergers, and it is probably safe to say, he has seen it all in the biz.

NetApp Insight 2019: Part 1

NetApp held their annual Insight conference in Las Vegas again this year. There is always a lot going on in Vegas, and there were several shows in town. There was a Crypto Currency conference happening in my hotel. I can only imagine what kind of shenanigans a bunch of risk taking crypto math geeks could get up to in this town.

There were not a lot of new product announcements this year, it seemed to be more focused on delivering of promises previously made. This is not a bad thing. This is an opportunity to refocus on the fundamentals of the business and realizing their multi-could/hybrid-cloud data fabric story.

Google Ends Forced Arbitration

Forced arbitration has been a sticking point with me for some time. It is an increasingly common practice in many companies to force their workers to sign binding arbitration agreements.

Companies say that this is to reduce the overwhelming costs of litigation (what the heck are you doing to get sued that much), but the real reason is that it tips things heavily in favor of the company who chooses the arbitrator and manages the process.
