When the book The Little BIG Things was in process, our friends at Enterprise Media caught Tom on camera reading an early draft. As a result, we have a collection of short takes of Tom laying out the beginnings of the 163 Ways to Pursue Excellence that became the finished product. We’re putting these short video spots at YouTube, adding one a week. In this week’s entry, Tom tells us about Roger Ailes’s notion that a person has but seven seconds to make a first impression.
Take a look at this video, “Brand You: First Impressions” (2 minute, 28 seconds), or download a PDF transcript.
