Business Leadership, Rackspace style - Raw video footage of an interview with Graham Weston, Chairman of Rackspace. Graham moved the headquarters of their business to Windcrest, Texas after the mayor, Jack Leonhart pleaded with him to do so. The problem is, Windcrest is probably the last place you would want to live. It's economically depressed, so much so, even the Walmart closed down. When Graham ran the idea past his business partners, executives and employees, there was almost a revolt. Everyone hated the idea. Even the consultancy firm Graham employed to do focus groups with employees thought it was bad idea and quit. But today the redevelopment of a shopping mall into the Rackspace headquarters is on schedule and 1400 employees are all on board. So how did Graham do it? Great leadership. Watch the video.

"Congratulations on your presentation at the recent CPA Congress. Your theoretical knowledge and your ability to translate this into perfectly-pitched case studies enabled me to not only enjoy the learning process, but to take away many pieces of wisdom you so easily covered. Your preparation for our group was a clear demonstration of your ability to add value for the participants as well as the Congress as a whole."
