W.I.N. Newsletter Special - Book Recommendation

Published: Tue, 01/11/11

This week's book recommendation is a book called Rules of Thumb.
Although you will find it in the Business section it has something
to offer for everyone. I found much of it very applicable to life
as a trainer as well as life in general.

From Booklist:
Webber, entrepreneur and columnist, offers advice and inspiration
with 52 practical lessons gleaned from more than 40 years of
working with extraordinary leaders in a variety of endeavors. He
sets out to help today's professional men and women stay focused,
productive, and inspired even in our most turbulent times of change
relating to globalization, technology, and the knowledge economy.
The author kept records of his experiences and describes them along
with the lessons he learned, showing us how these lessons can be
applied to our business or personal life. His rules? When the going
gets tough, the tough relax; don't implement solutions, prevent
problems; the difference between a crisis and an opportunity is
when you learn about it; every start-up needs four things: change,
connections, conversation, and community; entrepreneurs choose
serendipity over efficiency; knowing it ain't the same as doing it;
and great leaders answer Tom Peters' great question: "How can I
capture the world's imagination?" This excellent book offers
valuable, thought-provoking ideas for library patrons. --Mary Whaley

Take care.
