For all of us who like to see new business reality shows in cable broadcast tv, there is a new series of the “Undercover Boss” show on CBS airing in late September!
As featured in the September 27, 2010 edition of the Fortune magazine; three CEO’s took time to go undercover as front line employees (with false ids, changing hair color and more) and took company basic trainings to become satellite dish installers, forklift operators, customer service rep. and even a rear-tire carrier for NASCAR. The common denominator seemed to be the disconnection of high level management and common employee and the appreciation(mostly lack of) level for the hard work expected from the workers.
The Fortune magazine interviews of the Chiquita Brands, Nascar, Great Wolf resorts and Direct TV CEO”s was excellent but I will be looking for the TV show that will showcase some of the human factors affecting the front line workers and the respective recommendations for change proposed by the “converted” CEOs.
After read your new blog, I cannot wait to see the "undercover boss" show.
ReplyDeleteCEO go to the front line, maybe make them know more about their company, they may find some truth about their management.
