Book Summary: The Growth Gears

I have set myself a goal to read at least 25 books this year, which roughly translates to about a book every couple of weeks. I also did not just want to read these books but also absorb and internalise the content of these books. What better way than to recollect what I learnt and share it with my friends here on my blog as a summary. So, here is the first book that I finished reading this year – The Growth Gears. Authors: Both Art Saxby & Pete Hayes are executives at Chief Outsiders. Chief outsiders is an agency which helps mid-sized companies […]

In this edition of Best Among what I read, I would like to share some of the best content that I came across this week, on the topic of Innovation.

How Starbucks’s Culture Brings Its Strategy to Life In this HBR post, Paul Leinwand & Varya Davidson share the importance of the alignment of culture and strategy in the success of an enterprise. It is clear to any leader who has tried to create and execute on a new strategy, how difficult it is to get people to change the way they do things (culture).

Best Among What I Read Today, The Leadership edition – Jan 1st 2017

I read a lot and on diverse topics. I used to share all the interesting stuff on Twitter and Facebook, but realised that searching for them at a later point (in case someone wants to find out more or I want to connect with someone) became extremely difficult. Also, my friends said that it is easier for them if they can find all the interesting stuff that i find in one place so that they can visit one single post and decide to read something that they find interesting as well. Hence, going forward, on days that i read and […]
