Into The Storm

CEO Blog

Since we are just off Hurricane Sandy (and the damage is still everywhere), I am more attuned to the power of weather and mother nature. Into the Storm is a book by Dennis Perkins and Jillian Murphy (authors of Leading at the Edge ). This book is one that you cannot put down. Although it is a business book (Part 2 is anyways), it is the captivating story of of a sailing regatta - Sydney to Hobart Ocean Race in 1998.

The Perfect Day

CEO Blog

I am having Blogger stress - the stressed caused by not blogging for a while. One way to create a good life (nothing is ever perfect) is to think about your perfect day. So this morning, I am writing down the components of a perfect day. And at my stage, there is no reason I should not have more perfect days or days that are more perfect. There is a big difference between what I am calling perfect and perfection.

The Spirit of Kaizen

CEO Blog

I like New Years because I like to set goals. I know it is not quite New Years but it is close to holidays so it counts for me. I read a book - the Spirit of Kaizen - Creating Lasting Excellence One Small Step at a Time by Robert Maurer. The title says what kaizen is - the process of continually creating excellence or continually getting just a bit better.

Pioneers of Digital

CEO Blog

Stormy night so no power this morning. Would not be a big deal but memories of no power for a week due to Sandy are still fresh. I read a book by Paul Springer and Mel Carson called Pioneers of Digital - Success Stories from Leaders in Advertising, Marketing, Search and Social Media. Of course I like success stories. One problem I see with news is it is often about the negative so I like books that are about the positive.
