Agile links Collection 2011 vol.2

Well, things got a bit busy in Plamenland and I realized I can't keep up with weekly links so instead will have to collect the links and post when I have enough. On the plus side that means there's a better chance I read some or most of the articles and filter out those which I feel are not good enough to make the list. Anyway - enjoy my second set for 2011 ;)

People x Process - How Facebook Became the Hottest Company on the Planet Warning - This one's long. Worth a read if you have the time - explains a lot about facebook and to my mind provides a good learning opportunity for entrepreneurs.

Great Leaders aren’t Emotional By Dan Rockwell, have not read it. would like to read though - looks insightful to me.

Gossip Kills Possibility Dan Pallotta has a wonderful story to tell and he nicely ties it up with business environment. Some plain and true statements about what leadership is all about. Recommended read.
