I look at my calendar and don't see much on so I book them. And my book review of the day. I read Linda Henman's book " Landing in the Executive Chair - How to Excel in the Hot Seat ". She talks a bit about working your way through the ranks and the difference between being a CEO and a different senior executive.

I read a book by John Blakey - The Trusted Executive - Nine Leadership Habits that Inspire Results, Relationships and Reputation. The book leads with a section on why executives want to be trusted. The book says "choose to be open" so it is a choice. I like the title since I like habits.

It is a good book that provokes thought. The first intangible is wisdom. these conceptions of wisdom miss the mark.

And I am way behind on my book reviews so a short one: Gary Burnison wrote The Twelve Absolutes of Leadership. It seems logical he would know a thing or two about leadership not just because he runs his own company but as a recruiter, he would have seen hundreds of leaders. 3 - Strategy - In the end, it is all about execution.

The former (tea) is just poor execution and the latter (no plug) is poor planning. It takes great planning and great execution to succeed in business. ++ I read a short book - " It's Not About You - A Little Story About What Matters Most in Business " by Bob Burg and David Mann. The book is written "storybook style".
