Malcolm Gladwell

Malcolm Gladwell, a staff writer for New Yorker Magazine, in The Tipping Point, writes a fascinating study of human behavior patterns, and shows us where the smallest things can trigger an epidemic of change. Though loaded with statistics, the numbers are presented in a way that makes the book read like an exciting novel. Gladwell also gives several examples in history, where one small change in behavior created a bigger change on a national level. He also studies the type of person or group that it takes to make that change.

Jim Collins

Jim Collins (and research team) have written a book that combines the best of the different kinds of business books out there. It is for good reason that this book is a business school classic, and would unhesitatingly recommend it to almost anybody in business. The book studies eleven companies that went from Good to Great and stayed there for at least 15 years. It compares them with similar companies which did not achieve the same results. Collins and his team went in search of the magic "black box" which caused a company to make the jump. They found some ideas about leadership which they never expected to find. These ideas should shed a critical light on a lot of the notions about successful businesses that we still have today. CLICK ON BOOK NAME LINK TO PURCHASE.

Tom Connellan

The Walt Disney Company is famous for having an organisation that is dedicated to customer service and quality of product. Tom Connellan breaks down the culture and philosophy of Disney into seven easily understood lessons. The 7 lessons he presents certainly make sense for any business environment, are very basic and appear to be simple common sense. However, these concepts need to be repeated over and over again. One such idea is to know your customers and keep them the focus of everything that you are doing but in the business world of today, these common sense ideas seem to get lost in the rush to make a business successful, which is odd because these are the very ideas that will make a business succeed.
