  • Change-Friendly Leadership (Book Review)

    Change Friendly Leadership by Dr. Rodger Dean Duncan When I got my review copy of Change Friendly Leadership, I was transported back to my college days of studying change management.

  • Wisdom Meets Passion (Book Review)

    Wisdom Meets Passion by Dan Miller and Jared Angaza I’ve been reading and listening to Dan Miller for over 5 years now. In short, this book is more greatness. I ended up taking very few notes for a few reasons. First, this book is full of things that I live every day, so I didn’t…

I ended up with a book containing an interesting blend of leadership, change management, and religious topics. I’m openly and unabashedly a Christian, so that last part wasn’t…

  • 7 Hidden Reasons Employees Leave (Book Review)

    Recently I received a copy of 7 Hidden Reasons Employees Leave by Leigh Branham to review. It was great timing, because I’ve had the “big picture” retention ideas floating through my head in preparation for the HR portion of a leadership retreat at work. This truly was a fantastic book with many great insights, and…
