As I said in my comment above, Bruce's method is a great way to lose friends, and as Gilli points out, even employees. Gilli's other points are good too. But as he said, we're in the minority so you probably should listen to the feedback of the majority. I'm with Gilli P.

In this crowd, that appears to be me. I did not like this video at all. I thought he was snide and condescending. He wears a smirk to rival the one George W Bush sports. He flew right past the good advice (It's about getting the job done) and tried to persuade his audience to be as supercilious as he is. (If I got an obnoxiously delivered "Ding, I'm the Boss" from a colleague and former friend making clear that we were not team members pursuing a common goal but in a master-slave relationship where he was getting off on flaunting his master status, I would start circulating my resume as soon as humanly possible.) Beyond that, blogs are a very personal publishing vehicle. Yours has a very distinct voice, which happens to be your voice. I would be very careful about bringing other people into your own blog because, good or not, they just aren't going to be you, and so will dilute the voice. If you do bring guest bloggers in, I think you want to think very carefully about how they fit in next to you. To me, Bruce does the same kind of thing you do (presents the Gen X and younger viewpoint on the workplace as a writer and speaker) and doesn't do the kind of things you don't do (bring to bear lots of actual on the job experience in traditional bureaucratic organizations, thereby enriching the dialogue with the fruits of long experience). I would say that Bruce's largely duplicative focus is not what you need, as most team building needs to be complementary rather than duplicative, but that's just one malcontent's opinion.

The vidoe quality was excellent, it uploaded quickly and the most important point he was VERY relevant. The "ding" moment was right on the money! Stuart Penelope,
