Book Review Day!

Book Review Day!

I don't read many "business books" that are filled with beautiful sayings and tightly turned phrases that make you say ahhhhh. (I'll reread any Nathanial Hawthorn book again for that.) I don't want to waste my precious reading time. I want a book that is going to tell me straight out the information I need to improve myself and my business. Good to Great by Jim Collins is one of the latter. He gives you well researched, real world examples that you can apply to your business to improve your competency. His subtitle "why some companies make the leap and other don't" tells you what the book is going to be about. Plus at the end of each chapter he has a chapter summary if you are really pressed for time (or for you reread when you want to remember the point of that chapter).
A fantastic book and one you'll pull great ideas from that you can apply to your business today and tomorrow.
Enjoy!
