"The system's for sale." --Megadeth
I'm nearly done with Maps in a Mirror which is good because my back logged reading pile is growing so high that the uninitiated might mistake it for a mountain...or at least a mess. :) Just finished reading the graphic novel Kingdom Come which wasn't a great book however I really enjoyed the ending. And I read Primal Leadership. A great book with case studies about the power of feeling and emotions and how they interact with a company's goals and aspirations. Or don't, as the case may be. There is a section about understanding and dealing with your "emotional triggers"...in other words "the things that set you off." Not that I have any of those. :) The book also deals with understanding the reality of and inspiring the norms and culture of entire companies and individual work groups. But the best part, brings to light "unspeakables" in the work place. The things that you can't talk about at work no matter what. At my company, speaking the unspeakable will give you a one way ticket to the unemployment line. (Even when you're right.) Do not pass go. Do not collect $200.00. Bottom line to corporations and individuals, feelings matter. Ignore that fact at your own peril. Isn't it funny how people like us think about books? Books have always been a part of my life, reading always will. They are my friends. Now, go and tell me about some of your friends. -posted by Nobius 10:34 PM #

The Clash: The Return of the Last Gang in Town by Marcus Gray Howling at the Moon by Wallter Yetnikoff The first title is a detailed biography of The Clash (of course), the second is the autobiography of the former prez of CBS Records. Man, I do not miss working in the corporate world. That's why I originally started working in academic libraries, which have their problems too, but not like in the corporate workplace. Steve

It sounds like you read some of the most interesting books. I'm surpised you don't have a music review/book review website. That'd be great if I could read a review of yours and then click on a link and buy the book. :) |
