As long as we’re talking about unconventional acceptance speeches, here’s a great one: Jerry Seinfeld won the first ever American Comedian award and used his speech to basically roast the whole idea of award shows. “Your whole career as a comedian is about making fun of pretentious, high-minded, self-congratulatory, BS events like this one…I feel very honored, but it’s just that awards are stupid.”

on 14 Sep 09Excellent speech! Not really a fan of Seinfeld, but this speech has made me want to check it out again…
So what does this mean for businesses? Are awards for business BS? rewards for fancy accounting perhaps? I dont know…
