Reflection Video at MIT with Cisco leader John Chambers back in 2005

Below is a video provided from MIT archives. The lecture was for students at MIT in many different areas of Cisco academic based teaching. Many of these positions are IT based and now in 2011 I am sure Cisco does have six years later the extra 400,000 employees they needed to keep up as the competitive leaders in this field. The speaker is John Chambers and he really understands the infastruture of his company and articulate the struture of computer sciences and the options you have after education. He offers three options.

1. stay in education
2. Move into govermental position
3. Create your own company and start team building.

All three of these require working in a team, so this is just one of many useful skills I have extracted and highlighted as an important skill to learn online today. Time and time again I have been told you cannot do this on your own and to build a team. This has proved difficult and I will be revealing and researcing effective ways of doing such things.

The fundemental science taught in Cisco training reveals layers and protocorls that need to be understood on the backend of anything that happens online. As mentioned in this 2005 lecture a lot of this has become automated as the options anturally switch and the levels of authority to access areas to learn about and decide whether you want to purchase a product have changed. Many of the certificates needed are available these days on mobile phones. Also a thing to really soak up in this video is the Voip communications companies. Here John mentions 500 optional communication companies to choose from with only ten leaders that are worth realistically considering. I am sure in 2011 these figures have grown but I am sure the recommended companies have reduced.

IT has many advantages and your company in order to succeed will benefit from the science and communications and business acquisitions available. This video is amazing, six years on and covers so much ground. John Chambers talks about the whole infrastructure like a game of (I forget the game now) but basically in the game you build a city, the designate buildings and roles in the town in order to expand its not Cityville its much older. If I remember as the city got bigger some of the challenges were things like earthquakes, and if I remember there was even an attack from a big dinosaur that crushed the buildings when it became to large. This was before 2005 and sorry I cannot remember the game name.

Another key thing to note in this video is the relationship and value of staff members, and the optional contrast of having a automated product, measuring this with the long term value. Perhaps the main theme is team building, and continually building a deeper relationship with team members as you empower them more with the priceless information need within your company. Not just the visions and rules of the companies but the terminology needed to communicate correctly as a representative of that organisation to carry the message and continue a long standing relationship previously based on trust and represent that company as such.

There is still a lot to learn and you and I have already learned so much, with all this in place do yourself a favour and switch everything of and listen to John Chambers of Cisco talk to MIT. He says he speaks at 200 words per minute and I agree, he has no script, neither is he wearing headphones receiving prompts and themes, although this is a presentation with some interesting slides, so be mindful that what he does here is some point rehearsed. But I think you will agree a lot is just from experience, this is not just theoretical it is practical, global knowledge that you and your business will gather so much Intel and help you map yourself around this world we call the internet. Happy surfing, I am very grateful to what little information Cisco has taught me about computer sciences, but this video has something for everyone.
