The Five Temptations of a CEO: A Leadership Fable
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. In this leadership fable, Lencioni, president of The Table consulting group in the San Francisco area, stimulates our thinking with an enjoyable story that captivates the reader's attention. Identifying with Andrew, a troubled CEO, isn't difficult at all . . . and may even be a bit uncomfortable. The discomfort dissolves with t... Read more

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

One Entrepreneur's Take on Leadership - and Self-Awareness

Review:He did. But, hey, I really enjoyed this book. So, Gary. Here you go.

I've never watched his show on YouTube, nor have I read any of his prior works (definitely going to now, though), but this came highly recommended through a good friend of mine. I'm not gonna do an extensive review since plenty have got it covered already.

If I could summarize the overall takeaway from the book, I would say that it's "You can build something really awesome online and be successful if you're wi... Read more

Review:This was a quick read for me. The information was laid out step by step, very precise and direct to the point.

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.

My biggest pet peeve was the author never went in-depth about the ideas it was trying to preach and just briskly went over them. Furthermore, there were no technical insight nor anything new, just common sense.

Lastly, the tone of the author was very patronizing, which I found repulsive. It was treating it's reader as if they knew absolutely n... Read more

The Thank You Economy
The Thank You Economy

Review:This book was a great continuation to Crush It (If you would like to call it a continuation). 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

TrumpNation: The Art of Being The Donald
TrumpNation: The Art of Being The Donald

Review:This zips along and is funny, funny in many sections (though some of the business sections get a little number heavy). Anybody standing in line to be picked for the next season of the Apprentice should dig into this. It's a fascinating take of The Donald and the writer obviously had lots of access to him and time with him. The chapter on the Apprentice is revealing and hilarious (why are we so swept up in this game?). Very interesting chapters on casinos, celebrity, real estate deals, and Trump'... Read more
