The Sound of Vision - On Project Management -- With my 45-minutes-to-an-hour commute, I've recently been using my iPod for more than just Van Morrison, Manhattan Transfer, Mahler, Mozart, and Modest Mouse. The self publishing of weblogs has developed an audio counterpart in the form of Podcasts. (Think in terms of mp3s of talk instead of music.)
I used to think that public radio needed a business-oriented show, not on the news or finance side or for personal finance advice, but on aspects of the practice of management. It used to be a fantasy of mine to put such a show together. Now it's not only possible, but it's being done by Effern over at The Vision Thing with his Sound of Vision series. (I like that name.)
After an insightful introduction by Effern on objectives and assumptions, this particular show features coversations with folks that should be familiar to Focused Performance readers -- Hal, Clarke, and Johanna. If you'd like to put some voices to the names, check it out.
