Hi Yaniv,
I came across your blog through Google. I’m writing a book at the moment with the working title, “In Search of Leadership 2.0″, so I’m trying to connect with others who are thinking along similar lines.
How did the conference go? Did you get Gary Hamel to speak? I hope so – can’t have been easy! I have the Future of Management on my bookshelf so you’ve reminded me to take another look.
Best wishes,
Jemima
