Over at Execupundit, the list of Wharton’s Books for the Summer was linked to. It’s a pretty self-serving list, with 3 books that Wharton published on the list. They did manage to include Marshall Goldsmith’s new one What Got You Here Won’t Get You There, but all in all, it’s still a pretty uninspiring list.
So […]

Aside from the questionable practice of hooking into another product’s name to promote your own business, TwitterLit (and here) is one of the coolest Twitter uses I’ve seen. Twice a day, this person posts the first line of a book to Twitter, with an affiliate link to the book on Amazon. The site describes it […]

My friend Lisa Haneberg has a new book out (haven’t read it yet, but look for the review soon). To help promote the book she’s riding her motorcycle, Purple Haze, across the country and back. What a great trip that’ll be! You can check out her tour dates here. Lisa also made this neat […]

I’ve been intrigued by the idea of networking for a long time. But it’s always been a kind of voyeuristic activity for me since my natural inclination is to get a good book and go curl up in a cave somewhere. I’m the farthest thing imaginable from a natural networker. But the deal is […]

Just heard William Ury, co-founder of Harvard’s Program on Negotiation, on NPR this morning. He was talking about quick tips for negotiation strategies (he wrote a couple of books: Getting to Yes and Getting Past No, neither of which I’ve read yet). He seemed to be pitching a new book or methodology about how to […]

I just wrote a book review on The Omnivore’s Dilemma over at Joyful Jubilant Learning. There are a TON of good reviews to read over there. This Shelfari page shows all the books that are getting reviewed, and this page is where you can keep track of the reviews.
There are a lot of business […]

This isn’t a book review, though one will be coming shortly. I’m blasting through Citizen Marketers: When People Are the Message (book blog) by Ben McConnell and Jackie Huba (blog) for the MarketingProfs book club.
So far, so good. I’ve really enjoyed the read and it’s lived up to the book jacket blurbs. This is the […]

This is straight out of Warren Bennis’ An Invented Life. I swear, between that book and On Becoming a Leader (also by Bennis), there’s enough good thinking and creative leads on leadership to last a career. Anyway, on to the list:
Recruit with scrupulous honesty. This means that you should play it totally straight when recruiting. […]

Scott Berkun, author of The Art of Project Management (review) is doing some interviews for his next book on how innovation happens. He’s conducting online interviews and, in order to sweeten the deal, is offering a $150 Amazon gift certificate to one lucky interviewee. Not to mention the fact that you may be further interviewed […]

Just a quick pointer that Rajesh Setty’s latest project, Suggestica, goes live today. There’s also a companion blog here.
The official elevator pitch:
Suggestica aims to bring the best suggestions (books, audio, video etc.) from the “Trusted Authorities” in their disciplines. Our goal is to create a new kind of web with less clutter and less noise. […]

Interesting new blog that’s promoting a new book: Warriors & Weasels Blog is the blog marketing effort for a new book called Warriors, Workers, Whiners and Weasels, by Tim O’Leary (looks like he’s a local Portland guy).
I haven’t read the book, just browsed the blog. The blog is good reading so far, and the book […]

I’ve been reading this neat little book called Management by Baseball by Jeff Angus. Jeff is a consultant and sportswriter up in Seattle and he’s written a pretty cool book. I’ll get a more formal review up when I finish, but so far the book has proved to be a nice primer for general management. […]

I’ve recently finished reading Rushkoff’s latest book, Get Back In The Box, which talks about the fallacy of much “out of the box” thinking. This is more of a quick commentary on a section of the book (though I’ll get a formal review up later…short version: I liked it) than an actual review.
One passage in […]
