Leadership
& Self Deception: Getting
out of the box
By the Arbinger
Institute
Shows how most personal and organizational problems are the
result of a little-known problem called "self-deception."
This
powerfully simple book/story gets right to the heart of the human
dilemma. Why is it that we do the things that we don't want to
do to the people it matter most. What is going on and how to get
out of it. The work has had a remarkable impact on my life. It
is a simple read, but when it hits it can hurt the soul and make
you want to be better.

Creating
Customer Evangelists
I had the
fortune of meeting Ben McConnell last summer when we brought him
in to speak about Creating
Customer Evangelists to the Twin Cities chapter of Fast
Company's Readers' Network.
Here are
the tenants of
CreatingCustomer Evangelists:
Customer plus-delta: Continuously
gather customer feedback. -
Napsterize knowledge: Make
it a point to share knowledge freely.
- Build
the buzz: Expertly
build word-of-mouth networks.
- Create
community: Encourage
communities of customers to meet and share.
-
Make bite-size chunks: Devise
specialized, smaller offerings to get customers to bite.
- Create
a cause: Focus
on making the world, or your industry, better.
The book
goes into much greater detail and actual experiences and success
stories for each and overall CCE success stories. Well researched
and worth the read.
