“Good to Great ”
By Jim Collins
This management book by Jim C. Collins
describes how companies transition from
being good companies to great companies,
and how most companies fail to make the
transition.
“The Brand You 50 ”
By Tom Peters
The book is what Peters calls
a “50 List” of actionable steps
you can take to build your
personal brand. Your personal
brand is the “packaging,” your
“product”, what you offer, your
reputation, and what you
are known for.
“How to Win Friends & Influence People”
By Dale Carnegie
How to Win Friends and Influence People is just as
useful today as it was when it was first published,
because Dale Carnegie had an understanding
of human nature that will never be outdated.
Financial success, Carnegie believed, is due 15%
to professional knowledge and 85% to “the ability
to express ideas, to assume leadership, and to
arouse enthusiasm among people.” He teaches
these skills through underlying principles of
dealing with people so that they feel important
and appreciated. He also emphasizes fundamental
techniques for handling people without making
them feel manipulated.
