Review:Isaiah Hankel is a very charismatic individual, in person as well as on paper. His words are his beliefs.

Reading this book will offer direction through focus. Isaiah is clear in his thought process and has a wonderful command of the written language. Black Hole Focus will... Read more

Silos, Politics, and Turf Wars

Review:What a great book on what actually happens in the corporate world. As a corporte director for a fortune 500 company, I find these "silos" at every turn. And once I recognize it, my interface with these departments take a different tactic from the normal interactions with "normal" groups. Indeed, this book solidified my viewpoint on staking out claims to certain areas and have help me to get beyond the hurdles they represent.

I applaud the author for his insight and deep understanding of... Read more

A Field Guide for Leaders - and Facilitators

Review:Not only does this book cover mistakes and problems within a team, it explains a way to address the problems. This book goes one more than, "The Five Dysfunctions of a Team: A Leadership Fable".

Don't just tell me about a problem, tell me how to fix it.

Why Organizational Health Trumps Everything Else In Business
Why Organizational Health Trumps Everything Else In Business

Review:Fantastic read. Love Lencioni, and this book pulls together all of his other writings into one book that is prescriptive rather than fable. As a management consultant, I utilize several of his ideas, and he really does know what he's talking about. Read more

How to Create Uncontested Market Space and Make the Competition Irrelevant

Review:Highly Recommended for entrepreneurs competing in the global market! This book is a MUST READ for prospective entrepreneurs venturing into a highly competitive industry. As the internet brings the world closer together, so too comes outside competition that might not previously have been a threat. Any new product you come up with, China will make a cheaper version and ship it globally. However, unlike China, we do not have the same access to cheap resources and labor. This book has helped m...

Think Big: Make It Happen in Business and Life
Think Big: Make It Happen in Business and Life

Review:I grew up very financially poor. Being poor was a major motivator to my parents whom were always very entrepreneurial minded - always trying to think of what they might be able to produce, invent, resale, etc… to try to better our financial situation. One of the common concepts was the idea of the "American Dream" - that anyone can do practically anything if they really put their mind to it, work hard, and think big. Following the idea that you can move from poor to rich based on your own action... Read more

Trade Your Way to Financial Freedom
Trade Your Way to Financial Freedom

Review:The discipline for successful trading (all varieties of trading) is firmly planted in FINANCIAL FREEDOM. Not Flashy from this standpoint. It does not offer the latest entry techniques and wealth guarantees. It is Solid by originating a six-point discipline to successful investing. The book details a comprehensive mathematical and psychological plan to carry investors to success. The book might be better classified as a reference book than a 'quick' read. I would recommend this book. Read more

On Becoming a Leader
On Becoming a Leader

Review:Dear Warren,

Sorry, I could only muster one star because there was no half star available. Needless to say I was severely disappointed in your book. It is less about leadership than it is a manifesto on liberal elitist thinking. At least you expose yourself up front with your blatant left-leaning political bias and adoration of Norman Lear. Seriously? Norman Lear a great leader because he was successful at selling junk TV sitcoms to the masses? But I suppose that falls in line with the ma... Read more

How to Win at the Sport of Business - If I Can Do It

Review:Not a real book, but as explained before buying it a collection of blog posts.

I loved reading through Mr. Cuban's personal experiences and stories and there were some very good points. Just starting a business I could relate to the points made. The book is like you would expect from Mr. Cuban, down to the point and in plain English. Nothing too complicated.

My only point of improvement would be that is almost was too short. I wish there would have been some more experiences from M... Read more
