Here are two:
1. “Never Get a Real Job” by Scott Gerber, as a book that cuts through the typical steps of being entrepreneurial. It targets young people with a message of action and execution. It is plain language and will use some real life experience to make the point that you can drown in preparing to do something – you can make something happen with a thoughtful approach and common sense.
2. “Social Strategies for Small Business” by Phibble Media, is a good beginning point for starting a social media campaign. For people who are not quite sure how to come up with a tactical approach to using the strategic tools of social media this is a good place to drive a stake in the ground.

What I liked best: learning about the research on motivation, and why you want to be--and hire--a Type I (those who are intrinsically motivated and continual learners) than a type A.
A fascinating read for anyone working with organizational development, rewards programs, and employee leadership.

Great take-aways for managers, employees, and organizational development professionals. A must-read.

Shrink the Change: For me it was a great reminder about how to break changes down into small manageable chunks.
Grow your People: They note a lot of examples here about having a 'growth mindset' which is really about seeing small failures, repeated over and over as part of any journey, whether it's building a practice, delivering a project, or landing a job.
Happy holidays!

'Good to Great' by Jim Collins has to be my favorite. I keep it always on my desk, and often refer to it both individually and with my team.
The principles around fundamental business discipline (in people, thinking, and action) have proven very meaningful to me.
My best -

My favourite business book for a while has been 'Who Moved My Cheese' by Dr Spencer Johnson.
Its engaging storytelling style is 100% comprehensive, simple, profound and relevant, no matter which line of business you are in.

The number of business books published is staggering, and some wind up in my office, filling shelves, desks and every available surface. Many are quite good, and we work to bring those authors and their thought leadership to our executive members for
