The Five Temptations of a CEO: A Leadership Fable

Review:Every CEO understands that "it's lonely at the top." That loneliness contributes to temptations that can cause an otherwise dedicated executive to go down the wrong path.

77 Instant-Action Ideas to Boost Sales - and Crush Your Competition

Review:This book is way too scattered and lacks fluidity. Throughout, the author cherry picks ideas and studies to validate it's very brief points.

It went more in depth covering more topics to the coined term "Social Media" and how a wider variety of people can use it in any form of business, marketing, or even just for fun. It covers b2b, b2c but should more be called person 2 person. Which is very stressed in the book, it's about forming relationships. It also covers multiple ways on how you should and would. Overall I would recommend this book ... Read more
