It's better to
do a few things
really well than
than to do
a lot of things
badly.
If you can't
make the necessary
commitments of
time and energy
to your
electronic
marketing
efforts
scale back
your plan.
John Sumser

If anyone ever had questions about whether or not our industry has arrived, they are answered with the ad on Spencer Stuart's Front Page.
It's a huge step forward for an operation that just a couple of years ago was sure the web wouldn't amount to much. Although their recent acquisition of Cruel World has landed them some bragging rights (Uh, we own one of them dot com things, too.), it's pretty clear that their overall web strategy leaves much to be desired.
How's this for a sales pitch:
Thank you for your interest. In order to learn more about this opportunity and many others, please take a few moments to become a member of the Spencer Stuart Talent Network. We'll ask a series of questions to help us get to know you better and then you'll be able to continue with what you were doing.
It's what you get when you click on the link marked find out more about our exclusive network. As if web based executive job hunters will happily trade away their information just 'cause these guys asked. The only bright spot on the dismal offering is this delicious quote from The Real Work Of Leaders:
"Leadership is the corporate religion these days, but it remains an undefined quality. What exactly do leaders - or, more precisely, executives who style themselves leaders - really do? The fact that this question must be asked and answered again and again by the business publishing industry raises the nagging suspicion that they don't do much of anything. After all, we don't spend much time asking ourselves about the "real work" of accountants or cashiers."
Here' to hoping that their involvement with Yahoo will teach them something about the web.
