School of Herring - Jim Whitehurst of Red Hat shares his best leadership advice
To be effective, the primary thing a CEO needs to do is make a connection with the people who are working for them. Rather than thinking about driving performance, it's all about how do you create the context in which your people can perform their best. Doing that requires building an emotional connection, a mission of company, a reason for the company to be successful. That's human interaction... You really have to think even harder about how do I get more connected with your people. How do I make sure that everybody is connected back to the mission of the company and what you're trying to accomplish.

PODCAST:
Crimson Marketing - Jackie Yeaney, Red Hat's EVP Strategy & Marketing: Mad Men No More — How Marketing Has Changed
Buyers are not just passively consuming marketing messages–they are commenting, creating their own blogs and responding in ways that marketers cannot control. While this creates challenges for marketers who once had the stage to themselves, it also creates unique opportunities, says Jackie Yeaney, Executive Vice President of Strategy and Marketing for open source software company Red Hat. "If you pay attention... they are telling us what they want, what's relevant to them (and) how you can better engage with them...it's a lot of work to use...marketing technology (martech) to capture the data, but that's the name of the game." In this episode of Moneyball for Marketing, Jackie discusses how Red Hat is managing this transition across its global marketing programs, how it listens to audience feedback to determine marketing focus areas and how it is managing change internally.
