Black Swan #5 – Managers are not OK

BetaKit podcast

It’s a hard time to be a boss.

“I don’t know what matters anymore – I’ve lost my guideposts.”
– Johnathan Nightingale

It’s a good time to talk about managing in a crisis.

Outside my former colleagues at Research in Motion, there are few people I know in Canadian tech who have experience in dealing with global crises. We have two of them on this episode of the Black Swan podcast: Melissa & Jonathan Nightingale, co-founders of Raw Signal Group.
