I just put down SWAT – Seize the Accomplishment (Amazon affiliate link) by Timothy L. Johnson….and now want to pick it back up and read it again. It’s that good. I received the book as a review copy from the author…but don’t let that get in the way of believing me when i say that [...]
A few weeks ago I received Leadership Test: Will You Pass? (amazon affiliate link) by Timothy R. Clark, Ph.D. to review The book is a small one (~99 pages in total) but packed with some interesting content. Clark uses a business fable to describe leadership and what makes up a good leader. I’m a HUGE [...]
I asked “What’s your focus?” last week and now I wanted to ask another question: What’s your passion? I picked up Gary Vayernerchuk’s book Crush It!: Why NOW Is the Time to Cash In on Your Passion over the weekend and, while the book isn’t a great piece of literature, it does provide a good [...]
Just finished reading Enterprise 2.0: New Collaborative Tools for Your Organization’s Toughest Challenges My review in two words: Excellent book! Whether you are an expert in the Enterprise 2.0 world or just a beginner, this book has something for you. Whether you believe in Enterprise 2.0 or not, this book has some excellent concepts that [...]
I was lucky enough to get a pre-release copy of Change by Design: How Design Thinking Transforms Organizations and Inspires Innovation by IDEO CEO Tim Brown through the Amazon Vine program….and I’m glad I did. If you take a look at some of the Pre-release copy reviews of this book on Amazon you’ll see a [...]
I was lucky enough to receive a pre-release copy of Trust Agents: Using the Web to Build Influence, Improve Reputation, and Earn Trust by Chris Brogan and Julien Smith but I wasn’t lucky enough to be able to get through it until now. Have you ever wondered how Chris Brogan became Chris Brogan (outside of [...]
I received the book Two Weeks to a Breakthrough: How to Zoom Toward Your Goal in 14 Days or Less from Lisa Haneberg a few weeks ago as a gift from Lisa (thank you Lisa!). This is an awesome book. Go buy it now. You still here? Ok…I’ll tell you more. Unlike many other books [...]
I just finished Toy Box Leadership: Leadership Lessons from the Toys You Loved as a Child…somewhat flawed but a good book nonetheless. Flawed may be a bad word to use for this book. The idea is a great one (more on it later) but the narratives about the lessons could have been stronger. In addition, [...]
I just finished reading Succession: Are You Ready? (Memo to the Ceo) by Marshall Goldsmith. While the subject was interesting, I think the audience for this book is extremely narrow for it to be of much interest to a large audience. When I first noticed this book, I thought that there might be some information [...]
I just finished reading The Element: How Finding Your Passion Changes Everything and have to say that I really enjoyed it. While the book spends a little too much time in the realm of ‘celebrity worship’ (i.e., there are LOT of celebrities that have found ‘the element’ apparently), the book is still a very good [...]
