Identity is Destiny
by Larry Ackerman
This enterprising book reveals how organizations can adapt successfully to the fast-paced marketplace when decisions are based on the bedrock of identity. The author's "laws of identity" will help managers be authentic leaders, recruit employees who will flourish in the corporate environment, and develop a product mix that both meets customer needs and highlights the talents of the organization.
From the Acknowledgements, describing the Endleofon process at work: “Then Gerald (Sindell, of Thought Leaders Intl.) asked a larger question, the answer to which became the framework for this book: In all of my descriptions about the impact of identity on people as well as organizations, was I suggesting that identity embodies natural laws that apply to both?” |

How to Become a Rainmaker
by Jeffrey Fox
This is an afternoon read, pure and simple. And chances are good that once readers accept Fox's hard-hitting yet commonsense approaches, they'll accept his sales process, which applies, by the way, to selling widgets, promoting intangible services, or selling yourself. Every one of the author's 50 two-page to four-page chapters contains just one nugget of information more than the preceding section, enough to keep the momentum and the attention.
