It's so alive - I feel like I was in the store with you! I love how you drawn in the research references. I also really appreciate how you express your cynicism which, as you say, didn't really need to be called on because of the apparent realness and authenticity of the employees. I heard Brad speak also in 2005 at the Gallup conference, and it's such a pleasure for me to hear you document your great experience there. My favorite part of his talk at the time was when he described that BestBuy encouraged employee innovation, such as the employee around Christmas time who set up an iPod display at the front of a store because he had noticed the Christmas-presents store traffic was customers coming in, asking directions to the iPod section, walking through the store only to come back with the single iPod. The employee's display increased iPod sales by some double-digit percentages compared to other BestBuys if I remember the numbers correctly, which led to other BestBuys setting up similar iPod displays.
