Book Recommendations
from Bret L. Simmons

From Bret's review: "Despite its flaws, it is a good book. It will make the list of optional readings for my MBA class this fall because I think it will have an impact on the students that read it. The book is very well written with excellent organization and a very conversational style. The best thing about the book is the numerous excellent examples Liz gives to support her points, coming from her years of experience as a top executive and consultant."

From Bret's review: "I liked the book so much I might make it required reading for my next MBA class in organizational behavior. I neither like nor agree with everything Pfeffer has to say in the book, but he backs up his points with solid research, which I love. It has a few too many stories for my taste, but this is one of the best evidence-based books on leadership and management you can put your hands on, which is why I am recommending it."

Become Part of the Conversation

August 7, 2009 by Bret L. Simmons · Filed under: Entrepreneurship

I love this short video by Seth Godin and Tom Peters on why YOU should blog. I think Seth Godin’s comments are especially insightful.

“What matters is the humility that comes from writing it. What matters is the meta-cognition of thinking about what you are going to say”

Force yourself to become part of the conversation. Do it for yourself.

And…. it’s free
