Make Something, Even a Mistake: Advice from Comedian John Cleese
Actor, author and comedian John Cleese shares his thoughts on risk taking, management style and technology use at the recent annual Partner Summit in Honolulu, Hawaii.
Few comedians have left a lasting impression quite like British actor John Cleese. From Monty Python to Fawlty Towers to James Bond films and the Pink Panther, too, Cleese has acted, written and produced his way into entertainment history. His career spans four decades and keeps going still. Along the way, he's developed a keen interest in business and management style. Recently he paid a visit to Cisco partners where he spoke in Honolulu, Hawaii, at the 2008 annual Partner Summit. There, he told his audience to be bold and make mistakes. In a wide ranging talk, he discussed philosophy, business acumen and leadership style. In this interview with Cisco's Mandy Knotts, Cleese shares his insights on these topics and more.
