These days it would seem leaking is good for business. Not the roof or someone in the corner office with a malfunctioning diaper. But more the kind that makes the news. A story. Free publicity type of leaks.
More and more companies now rely on leaks rather than formal product or leadership change or financial disaster announcements. These leaks it would seem are designed to produce results and therefore intentional.
Perhaps management schools need to add it their curriculum as a core requirement / credit. Science of Leak Management or call it Leakologics.
Without them we would not have known what Apples were cooking on the tree or how Yahoo was going to turn its ship around. Rajat would still be scott free and Wiki would be less popular (more on what Scott has to do with people's freedom in some other mentally challenging blog).
From the days of Julius to the ancient Indian battles to Egypt and other prominent reigns I suspect leaks drove things to a large extent. Its now that we know more about them as leaks and not the hand of god or some such.
Perhaps time to amend some stupid idioms to - A Leak in Time saves Billions or some such?
I like chocolates. Godiva Dark with Almonds - not sure of the naked woman on the horse to be the icon of some choice cocoa based products but tastes good. Started in Belgium but now owned by some Turks. Cadburys - Fruit and Nut Milk Bars - awesome combination of dried fruit pieces along with a medley of nuts makes your toungue dance - started by a Brit now owen by Kraft USA. Lindt Hazelnut spheres - made by a Swiss confectioner are divine balls that melt in your mouth with a lingering nutty taste Ghirardelli Milk Crisp Squares - crunchy and light these milk squares are easy on the palate but pack some serious calories - all good I say! Originally founded by an Italian who moved around till he landed in SF Bay today also owned by the Swiss Lindt empire.
Vine as in grapevine is one of the most enticing things in a workplace..
