I was frustrated by the way I saw my newspaper at the time being managed and so I went to business school and got a MBA. From there I migrated to a couple research jobs on the business side of media companies and eventually joined Gallup where I was a principle for twelve years. I’ve been a practice leader at BI World Wide for the past three years during which my colleagues and I have been doing the research that lead to the book, Widgets.” – Rodd WagnerFor a detailed summary of Widgets according to Rodd Wagner CLICK HERERelated Books:Make It Matter by Scott MautzManaging Whole People by Mark HerbertThe Hidden Leader by Scott EdingerFor more advice, tips, and stories on entrepreneurship, join our community on Facebook and Twitter.
