Boardroom Rockstars
Step away from the suits and spreadsheets, and dive into the wild world of 1970s rock! The music business in the 70s was more than just hits; it was a masterclass in risk-taking, branding, and high-stakes deals that Fortune 500 execs can learn from today. Record label moguls like Clive Davis made daring bets, while mergers like Warner-Elektra-Atlantic reshaped the industry, offering valuable lessons in strategy. From tough contract negotiations to adapting to disruptive trends like disco, the 70s rock scene echoes today’s corporate challenges. Ultimately, it all comes down to the product—whether it’s a killer track or an innovative business idea!
