Best Management Book Ever

Revisado: 04-22-19

Eric Schmidt and Jonathan Rosenberg were coached by Bill Campbell when they were top executives at Google. They write about Campbell's philosophy of coaching and managing. When I told a very bright friend of mine that it was the best management book I had eve read, my friend said, But what about Peter Drucker?" My friend knew I had taught management courses for years, written four textbooks about sales and was great fan of Drucker's. Up until I read "The Trillion Dollar Coach," my favorite management books, in addition to several of Drucker's books, were "In Search of Excellence," "Built to Last," "Good to Great," and a couple of other books by Jim Collins.

But Schmidt and his co-authors boil Campbell's management philosophies down to very specific behaviors and attributes that make managers great. Drucker was great, but often he was too philosophical and big-picture oriented with such statements as "the only purpose of a business is to create a customer." Campbell coached managers how to hire people, how ofire people, when to fire people ("no one is successful on a third chance.") In an age of egos gone wild and narcissistic bosses Campbell advises humility and honesty. He advises always to go back to first principles of a business and to always do the right thing.

"The Trillion Dollar Coach" is short, pithy, applicable and should be read by every middle and top manager. If he was able help Steve Jobs guide Apple to being the most valuable company in the world and Google to become the fourth most valuable company in the world in ust 20 years, Campbell's ideas might help you.

I'll Fight With Her

Revisado: 05-02-17

Elizabeth Warren makes the best case I have read for why and how to fight for democracy and against the insane, self-dealing clown who's president. Read it, weep and RESIST.

From Hate To Love Of Hillbillies

Revisado: 03-18-17

I started out skeptical of the hillbilly culture because I hate Trump, but I came away loving Mamaw and Papaw and the whole family. Mamaw reminded me of my mother, so I wept buckets when she died. The book proves love Trumps hate.
