POPSThe Trophospher, Where The Business Action Hero Toils Inside companies -- like in war -- strategy is highly valued. Clear strategies followed by tactics. In fact, tactics are where many strategy lovers bump their heads. This books strikes a chord that I've been thinking about for years working in the trophospher: collaboration is the key to sustainable leadership and lasting relationships. Not a new concept, but one that is gaining momentum among what I call the new generation of managers who pull together the right people with the right skills for the right job, and seek input/feedback along the way that gets poured back into any existing "process" or "framework." "The New How: Creating Business Solutions through Collaborative Strategy" -- to which I'd add "and Tactics" -- is one book I must read. I'll get it on my 2010 BookStack!
