This blog post is the newest in our monthly Book Review series. The following books reviewed are a collection of invaluable reads, topics include: marketing, medicine, leadership and women in business.
Platform… Get Noticed in a Noisy World by Michael Hyatt is a prodigious guide for helping to build a brand and identifies how to get your business’ message out there. I wish I had seen this book earlier in my business journey. I already practice several of Hyatt’s brand strategies, but the book taught me details and helped me refine the strategies I currently have in place. I highly recommend his book to anyone with a message to spread about their business. Hyatt’s guidance will help you touch more lives.
Athena Doctrine: How Women (and the Men Who Think Like Them) Will Rule the Future by John Gerzema and Michael D’Antonio. The book discusses a number of studies and projects worldwide. The personality characteristics profiled, as typically of being associated with females are deliberated. The authors argue that certain female characteristics can create better outcomes for groups. I agree that what females are typically better at can be used to benefit us all.
The Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer by Siddahartha Mukherjee is an excellent read for understanding the history, progression and behind the scenes exploration in cancer research and current treatments. Mr. Mukherjee breaks down the knowledge known about cancer and breakthroughs. From a business standpoint, much of the information is transferrable. How do you conduct tests? When do you change direction? Is your timing, right? I couldn’t help but compare his insights on cancer to my client’s struggles to get their businesses just right. A great read if you want to take an outsider’s look at medicine and understand what is going on behind the scenes.
Multipliers: How the Best Leaders Make Everyone Smarter by Liz Wisemen does a great job at helping leaders think about leadership – specifically how they are going to empower teams members to be better leaders. A lot of food for thought in here on how to delegate and how to build a culture of growth.
