Swiss Franc Woes

How a strong Swiss franc is weighing the country down, an orchestra conductor teaches CEOs how to lead, and Lucy Kellaway tells the former Twitter boss how not to tweet.

Six months after unpegging from the euro, a strong Swiss franc is costing the central bank, and the country's retailers billions in lost revenue. Can it be sustained? Our correspondent, Imogen Foulkes, sends a report from the country. Also, the 'Ignorant Maestro' - Isreali conductor, Itay Talgam who trained under the legendary Leonard Bernstein, explains why company CEOs can learn a great deal from the great orchestral conductors.

And, Lucy Kellaway of the Financial Times rails against the former boss of Twitter - not for failing to return a corporate profit, but for crimes against the English language.
