Dr Z.’s Leadership Institute staff have been doing extensive and exhaustive research in July and have now developed the quintessential leadership whitepaper.
Okay, we admit it wasn’t the whole month we worked. Would you believe that we put in a full week? If not, would you believe that we spent a full day on it? Okay we were golfing, drinking, and going to the beach all month, but if you look carefully you will notice the paper is all white, except for the print!
And as an added bonus we have offered the document in a Word format so that you can tweak a few words, change the attribution, and call it your own. Okay, we admit our Adobe Acrobat PDF maker wasn’t working, we couldn’t figure out how to get it to work, so we just left it as a Word document and had the clever guys in marketing come up with a rationale — “it makes the document open source,” they said. This nugget of marketing wisdom was generated at the 19th hole after half a dozen beers.

If you take the time to read the whole paper, and this means getting to the end of the one page you will notice an additional clever marketing ploy generated by the same guy who said it was open source:
We know things that you don’t.
We won’t tell you what they are unless you pay us a big fee!
Operators are standing by…

[...] The blog site Dr. Z’s Leadership Institute seems to have missed this bit of advise when they decided to publish their post entitled, “The Shortest and Most Powerful White Paper on Leadership Ever Written”. [...]

The message is clear from the comment, don’t white on with wit. Especially if you believe brevity is the soul of wit.
Dr. Z sincerely apologizes if he has offended any white paper writers or Gerbil lovers.
But if you belong to a large corporation with too much money in the budget do not be put off if you still want to pay the Leadership Institute a big fee to find out what we know that you don’t.
