Executive Book Summaries
| A bit pressed for time, are we?
There you are, at the end of yet another grueling day. And you know you
need to get through half a dozen business books you still haven't
managed to find the time to read. Consider
these common scenarios:
- Four times today, someone's mentioned a title and
your sphincter muscles tightened as you changed the subject. You don't
know what that book's about, and you don't want to look stupid.
- At an executive meeting, you find out your
competitor has already implemented a strategy you haven't read about and
that competitor is now eating your lunch.
- You have a problem that is costing your company,
and mention this to another executive at a conference. Incredulous, he
looks at you and asks why you didn't read (name the book). You slink
away in embarrassment, feeling uninformed and foolish.
If one of these doesn't apply to you, probably
another negative scenario does. And you know the answer lies in reading
those great business books. If only you had the time to do that...there
are only so many hours in a day. What can you do?
The answer is here! |

 Judgment
- How Winning Leaders Make Great Calls
by Noel M.Tichy and Warren G. Bennis
Two titans of effective leadership have identified the fundamental
essence of leadership as the ability to make consistently good judgment
calls, especially when the stakes are high, information is limited and
the right call is far from obvious. They clarify an often misunderstood
concept that good judgment is an inborn trait. Instead, the authors show
it's actually a skill that can be developed, refined and nurtured
throughout an organization.

 What
Got You Here Won't Get You There
by Marshall Goldsmith with Mark Reiter
People don’t realize that doing one annoying thing repeatedly may sabotage
their otherwise golden career. Worse yet, they do not realize that it’s
happening and it can be fixed. Goldsmith details the 20 habits that hold you
back from the top rung of the corporate ladder. These are the most
irritating interpersonal issues in the workplace. For each habit, he gives
examples and practical solutions. He then describes the 21st habit, which
stands separate from the other 20 habits –– not because it is a flaw, but
because it is often the root of an annoying behavior.
