The Quadrotor AR Drone 2.0 - Do I Want One? YES!



Quote - "When I saw this at the store, I stopped DEAD in my tracks. I wanted it!! But it seemed expensive. 2 weeks later I had one. Yes, the battery is only about 12-15 minutes, but so are ALL remotes. What do you expect, it runs 4 motors. I highly recommend downloading the ARDrone Sim app and practicing before your first flight. And do not fly without the indoor hull for a while, even outside. Parts can become very spendy if you're not careful. And waiting for them is even worst! Most of all, this is by far the best toy I have EVER owned !!!!"

I do believe that creative managers can make any business model work through hands-on, frequent supportive interaction with their employees. Corporate obstacles can be overcome if all employees work together to improve conditions for their own benefit and that of their clients. (Teachers do this all the time with incredibly scarce resources.)

Our local superstore looked and functioned very differently under two different managers. Also, when I worked as a float for a superstore, every place I went had a different culture even in the presence of a monolithic structure that was completely inflexible. I think what I saw was secondary to the local manager's shared human relations skills. Still caring in a planogram nightmare? People notice.
