"Leaders on Leadership" Taping - Bob Fish, CEO and Co-Founder of Biggby Coffee
Attend a taping of the "Leaders on Leadership" television series, co-produced by WSU School of Business Administration and Detroit Public Television (WTVS 56).
On Wednesday, March 31, 2010 at 1:30 pm, we'll tape an episode with Bob Fish - CEO and Co-Founder of Biggby Coffee.
Their first cafe began in March of 1995. They began franchising in 1999 and now have over 100 cafes located in 9 states. They are a 100% franchised system....meaning local ownership. Not a "corner office" kind of leader, Bob spends much of the year on the road visiting cafe owners, employees and customers. He blogs extensively about these experiences.
He is a dynamimc, entrepeneurial leader. Come meet him and ask him the questions you want answered.
Besides being part of the studio audience and learning about a full scale television production, students also have opportunity to submit leadership questions they would like to directly ask the guest for potential use on-air. There is also a not-for-broadcast discussion between the guest and the studio audience immediately following the taping.
Students MUST PRE-REGISTER to attend the taping. A confirmation email will be sent soon after registration is received.
The registration site also includes space for submitting the questions you wish to ask the guest. The selected questions will be announced at the studio before taping begins.
Students must arrive at the studio 20-30 minutes in advance of taping.
Dress for the tapings is "smart casual" up through normal business attire. You WILL be seen on television and have to sign a simple release form at the studio.
Total time commitment at the studio is 90-100 minutes.
When broadcast, the program will be seen in Michigan, Oklahoma, coast-to-coast in selected Canadian markets, as well as parts of Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Korea. The program is broadcast locally on Sunday at 1:00 pm and repeated on Wednesday at 5:30 pm. After being broadcast, it will be available, on line, at www.dptv.org --> On Demand --> Video --> Leaders on Leadership --> Archive.
