“Not all readers are
leaders, but all leaders are readers.” -
Harry S. Truman
When is the last time you read a book to help you be a
better business owner and leader? This week’s tip is to head to your local
bookstore or library and pick up a book today!
A variety of topics within the business realm are available,
from management to change innovation to marketing to leadership and more. By
reading a book on these topics, you open up your mind to new ideas and
processes for your company. In addition, as you become a better leader and
manager through reading and applying what you learn, the better you will be
able to lead your organization and team to continued success.
Seth Godin, business guru, has a helpful
post about how to read a business book, including deciding before you even
start that you’re going to change three things about how you work. By making a
goal before you open the book, you’re less likely to read and then put it down
without ever implementing the ideas and knowledge gained from the book. Reading
without implementing would be quite a waste of your time!
We understand that your time is limited and you are likely
wearing multiple hats. Therefore, we’ve found a resource that will help you
pick a great book from the hundreds of business books available. Check out “The
100 Best Business Books of All Time” for a quick synopsis of some of the
greatest business books and how they can help your business. Find the ones that
cover topics you need most and start reading today!
Wondering why we
focused on business books when we’re writing for candy makers? Don’t worry;
you know we love confectionery books, too! We’ve
already provided a great list of must-reads for confectioners as a weekly tip
last April.
