Those of you following us on Twitter - http://twitter.com/fuzz2buzz and http://twitter.com/Bill_Jarrard will know that recently I discovered a fantastic new website www.bvo.com The Business Voice, created by Anthony Gell.

Presenting an inspiring variety of thought leaders BVo.com surpasses other websites of this type, except probably www.TED.com, which has vastly more material of course, but it has been going much much longer.  I love TED, particularly because I can load the short talks to my iPhone so I can learn on the road anytime I have a few minutes spare.

And I like many things about BVo.com – the quality of the videos, Anthony’s interviewing style, the excellence of the questions and discussion, and that fact that we are not only seeing some of the well known names (de Bono, Peters, Goleman) but also meet real leaders in a wide variety of fields.

Just some of the thought leaders on BVo.com so far are our mentor Edward de Bono, Tom Peters; Daniel Goleman; Philip Rosedale, Founder of SecondLife; Sahar Hashemi, Founder of Coffee Republic;  Prof Richard Scase, Europe’s Leading Futurologist; and Matthew Key, CEO Telefonica Europe. 

I watched the full interview with Tom Peters the other day, and in his usual style he covered a wide range of issues, but what always delights me with Peters is his willingness to challenge.  I love the way the interview starts when he says that despite the libraries full of books on innovation, the reality is that the one real source of innovation is ‘pissed off people’.  He sights people like Richard Branson as the kind of person that was so dissatisfied with what he saw around him, that he just had to take action to change things. 

But as he says these people can be anywhere in an organisation, from the accounts department to the Boardroom – in fact they are more likely to be down the organisation than close to the top.  Which of course can lead to real problems as leadership is needed to enable innovation.

Over the last thirty years it has been my privilege to work with pissed off people at every level, and to be allowed by brilliant mentors to take action myself when I was pissed off.  And when I found myself ‘stuck’ in situations that became untenable due to the blockers, I was able to take other action.  That is probably why I had more than 20 different jobs before starting my own company 20 years ago.

After sending a congratulatory thanks to Anthony for putting BVo together, I was talking to him last week to exchange some ideas, and I can tell you the future of BVo looks fantastic.  So be sure to check out www.BVo.com, and the Tom Peters and Edward de Bono interviews in particular (watch the full interviews).

And if you are pissed off about the situation you find yourself in, do something about it.  Today!
