jc - I'd love to know of some other resources that focus on and explain the art of being strategic in a similar way. One of the reasons I wrote the book as that I couldn't find any. If I knew of others, I'd recommend them to people.

Possibly, but if so, it bears repeating. And Erika has a gift for making these lessons personal and relatable.

And finally, to quote Zig Ziglar: “Of course motivation is not permanent.
But then, neither is bathing; but it is something you should do on a
regular basis.”

Good thinking, but it has all been said before.

Zelga, I'm interested to know your thoughts on "intrepreneur" and disruption?

Re: Thinker in Residence: Erika Andersen on Business & Books

Sally8cr — Fri, 29 Mar 2013 23:11:33 -0000

Erika and Zelga,
Quiet by Susan Cain was my "personal" pick for my favorite book of last year. Loved it. But then...I'm an introvert. But it's very smart in suggesting that we understand in what scenario we, as introverts or extroverts, thrive, and to respect those strengths of others in the workplace, or we can work on pushing ourselves out of our comfort zone. Sometimes introverts get overlooked as they aren't as likely to be outspoken in a group, etc., but that doesn't mean they don't bring a lot to the table.

I'll be interested to hear your reaction, if you do have a chance to read Leading So People Will Follow. it's written to give you practical insight into how to become more "followable"...even by those who don't now support you.

I tend to really like about half of each of Gladwell's books. Then I think, "OK, I got it" - and he keeps going. ;-)

I don't know S Cain's "Quiet" - so now I have to check it out...

Thanks for the great review, 800CEOREAD! I'm hearing from many self-made millionaires who weren't part of my survey who appreciate that there's finally a book which speaks to them about their own path to success!

Buzz word in educational thinking too - perfect logic and backbone to achievement.

Zelga Simone — Fri, 29 Mar 2013 18:12:55 -0000

Can we see some thinking on the 'Intrepreneur'?

Re: Thinker in Residence: Erika Andersen on Business & Books

Zelga Simone — Fri, 29 Mar 2013 18:11:30 -0000

Thinker in Residence is good but wouldn't 'Disruptive Thinker in Residence' be even better *_* .... Disruption being the key to change?

Re: Thinker in Residence: Erika Andersen on Business & Books

Zelga Simone — Fri, 29 Mar 2013 18:08:35 -0000

So good to see Good to Great by Jim Collins, the bible of Entrepreneurs. Thoughts on Malcolm Gladwell, John Simmonds? S Cain's recent Quiet was groundbreaking for me - do you have any thoughts on this Erika?

This sounds like the book for me. I have been put in a leadership position that many feel I did not earn or deserve. They are treating me accordingly. How do you get people to follow you who are resentful of you? I hope this book answers that question. I need all the help I can get! I just finished up the book, "Stop Playing Safe: Rethink Risk. Unlock the Power of Courage. Achieve Outstanding Success" by author Margie Warrell. Something that really stuck out to me is, " Embrace a ‘Courage Mindset’ to speak up with confidence in every situation." There are many great ideas that I am starting to implement in my job. http://margiewarrell.com/

Thanks for this excellent recommendation. Would be helpful if your site could offer more share options, including email. Or am I just not seeing that option? I emailed this resource to my boss, but had to leave your site to share it. Looking forward to reading this gem with hopes it becomes required reading among the leadership team in my office.

Congratulations on the great book Brian! I think it's a great read for everyone in the business world today. My favorite chapter is "6 Pillars of Social Commerce", I liked how you incorporated Cialdini's principles of influence into the chapter. I'm a big fan of understanding how our mind works and often apply these concepts towards my marketing projects. It's a phenomenal book and have been recommending it to everyone!
