Using IT for Competitive Advantage
In his 1985 book titled Competitive Advantage: Creating and Sustaining Superior Performance Free Press 1985 Management and IT (information Technology) author Michael Porter set fourth some very useful ideas about creating competitive advantage with IT (e.g. building a strategically valuable system.) I've added an example or two after each of his points. They include: (1) Building barriers to ...

Awesome program!
I'm just entering my 7th week of this program and love it. I've made great gains in the past few weeks while sweating off about 10 pounds. The first four weeks of the program nearly did me in (20 reps, omg), but well worth it. My only issue, and it's a small one, is I wish they had given more resources for recipes as following the "diet" for 9 weeks using the same recipies gets old really fast.

It gives you clear, and easy to do advice on how to deal with social siturations. This is the best book ...
Firstborn Advantage, The: Making Your Birth Order Work for You
Dr. Kevin Leman
Revell
, 2008
Firstborns were born to win. Clearly the natural movers, shakers, and leaders of this world, they can accomplish anything they set their minds to. They're the high achievers, the benchmark-setters, the business moguls, the concert violinists, the heads of the PTA. But if they're out of balance, they can be overly perfectionistic, driven, and critical. They can become controllers (everything has to go their way) or pleasers (exhausting themselves ...

The First Book to Truly Teach Real Estate Method
This book does for real estate investing what Pimsleur does for language learning: it teaches you to speak the real estate language, to ask knowledgeable questions, and to make informed decisions. I have been through dozens of books, tapes, and CD programs on investing in real estate. Some are strictly motivational with little useful information. Others are like reference works and cannot be ...

Awesome book
This book is extremely informative and has some great recipes. It is a little hard to follow the diet exactly because it is a little more strict than say "The Abs Diet" , but definitely filled with great info that I needed to know.

, 2006
The Science of Negotiating
As a long time mediator I've read many books on the subject of negotiating. I found Bargaining for Advantage so informative I bought copies for my grown children. Shell brings science into the "art" of negotiating and makes sense of an often mysterious subject. My two daughters especially enjoyed the discussion of women and wages and why women may earn less than men - because they don't ask for ...

The Resiliency Advantage
After a challenging year in which I have dealt with injury, financial devastation, and diabolical bureaucracy, it was great to be reminded, once again, that the reason I have thrived is largely because I exhibit 100% of the personality traits of a 'survivor'! The exercises included in this book are brilliant and I have recommended the book to many people, including my rehabilitation physician - ...

In this book, he makes what I consider to be his most important contributions thus far to our understanding of how to gain and then sustain a competitive advantage by finding, hiring, and retaining the right talent with the right structures, systems, processes, and practices in place.

His process has been an incredible insite for myself, my team, and our company. The process he describes helps a company discover WHO their core customer really is that they should target. This really helped us gain a more laser like focus ...

A Must-Own Classic
There are very few motorsports books extant that can be called true classics or world-changers. This is one of them, and it's one of the best on top of that. Mark Donahue was an extrordinary individual, not only a blindingly fast driver, but also a talented, disciplined, and most importantly, curious engineer. To have the virtues of both top-level driver and top-level engineer embodied in the ...

A "Decoder Ring" for Personal Interactions
Clearly one of the most important works I've read in recent memory. With personal interactions giving way to increasingly high tech "touch points" (email, telephone conferences, IM/text messaging, blogs, wikis, social networks, etc.) I fear we might be losing an innate ability to communicate on a deep, personal level. "The Nonverbal Advantage" makes up for this shortcoming with powerful, easy ...

This is a voluminous text, that goes into a lot of details about operations management. Many practical, line management issues. Where you, as a manager, or perhaps as a small business owner, have to confront gritty details. For example, if you are in a large manufacturing company, 6 sigma is a well known method for quality control. So the book describes how to analyse the production flow, with ...

Prescription for Improving Your Advertising
If you are as tired as I am of being bombarded with advertisements and marketing that all say the same thing, and in the process, really says nothing, then this book is a revelation. Just as bad is dealing with sales reps who all say the same thing. As a consumer (personal and business), I'm constantly looking for ways in which a product/service can be distinguished. I want to buy on value ...
