Replying to LO21411 --

Bill's right that leadership isn't dependent on technology. But consider
how FedEx uses broadcast video, its leader the star, to rally the company

how the same company's instant package tracking put the emphasis on
service in a way that changed the rules. Enjoy, Bill, and let your mind
roam free!
