Purple Cow
Transform your Business by Being Remarkable
Business doesn't work like in the old 'Proctor & Gamble' promotion days.
So what's a business to do? According to author Seth Godin, Purple Cow
describes something phenomenal, something counterintuitive and exciting
and flat out unbelievable. He says, “Every day, consumers come face to
face with a lot of boring stuff—a lot of brown cows—but you can bet they
won't forget a Purple Cow. You’re either a Purple Cow or you're not.
You're either remarkable or invisible.” Make yours a Purple Cow.
Read about his philosophy in this book!

The
Feiner Points of Leadership
Management expert Michael Feiner's
candid leadership guide cuts through rhetoric and theory and gives
managers and executives a "hands-on" approach to dealing with problems in
business. This essential guide features 50 clearly defined laws of
leadership together with illustrative stories that demonstrate these laws
in action. There is also a unique back-of-book matrix highlighting classic
business scenarios--and the leadership laws that apply to each. I highly
recommend this book.

Bullmarket 2004
Seth Godin, entrepreneur and
author of the bestselling book
Purple Cow compiled and released his 2004
Bull Market Directory, a resource for connecting organizations with some
of the world’s most creative thinkers. Godin says, “This is the one
and only sourcebook for finding the catalyst an organization needs
to remarkable. If your company is stuck, if you're trying to make
some great stuff but just can't get it done, maybe you need some
fresh ideas. After all, you can't make a Purple Cow without a
bull!” Proudly, PeopleFirst is included in this book! |

something remarkable. Well, he found 99 remarkable people, products,
services, organizations and projects and wrote about each one of them.
This is a downloadable pdf e-book.

as an introduction to personality types. It provides the essential

Refrigerator Rights
Creating Connections and Restoring Relationships
People need "refrigerator rights relationships" -- the kind that are
comfortable, informal and intimate enough to let us walk into each other's
kitchens and rummage through the refrigerator without asking.
Refrigerator Rights is more than a book. It is a message about
changing from a life of isolation to a life of connection. |
