Global Product Management Talk With Terry Jones, Former CEO, Travelocity.com; Chairman, Kayak.com
1. Global Product Management Talk
With Terry Jones, Former CEO,
Travelocity.com; Chairman,
Kayak.com
For Innovation’s Sake, Reach Through The ‘Bozone’ Layer,
Encourage New Ideas And Experimentation
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PRLog (Press Release) – June 9, 2013 - SAN FRANCISCO -- Terry
Jones founded Travelocity.com and then founded its new competitor
Kayak.com. What was the secret to his decades of leadership success?
“The leaders at the top need to hear from the people on the line – the
clerks, the customer service reps, the people who are actually touching
the customers,” says Jones, author of “On Innovation.”
“They’re almost always the employees with the best ideas for solving
problems, streamlining processes, improving the customers’ experience.
That’s where innovation begins.”
The trouble is, in companies where the leadership has made failure too
risky for middle managers, an impenetrable “bozone layer” forms
between those at the top and those at the bottom.
“The short-term solution is for leaders to find ways to reach through the
‘bozone layer’ and talk to the workers. Solicit their ideas, implement
them and give them a really big shout out for their great
2. contribution,”Jones says.
The long-term solution is to vaporize the bozone layer by changing the
culture.
“Encourage experimentation and new ideas. When something doesn’t
work, kill the project -- not the person! People need to know it’s safe to
experiment and even to fail.”
Terry Jones, Founder & Former CEO, Travelocity.com; Chairman,
Kayak.com will join host, Cindy F. Solomon, on Monday, June 10, 2013
at the simultaneous times of 10:00 AM Pacific Time, 11:00 AM MST
