Summertime reading
If you’re looking for inspiration for some summertime reading, here’s what a few of the Wowees will be reading during their summer holidays:
Invisible Power
Invisible Power is Pete’s choice and a great one at that! Invisible Power explores the understanding of our “most under-utilised asset” the human mind. This book reveals three simple insight principles that explain how the mind works. Once you understand how your mind works you can utilise it to its full potential.
The Snowball: Warren Buffett and the Business of Life
Katia’s recommendation comes from American business investor and philanthropist, Warren Buffett. The Snowball is an autobiography of Warren’s life. As the world’s most successful investor, this is an interesting read and will give you clues as to how Buffett has been ahead of the curve for most of the past fifty years.
Fish!
“A remarkable way to boost morale and improve results.” Laura enjoyed this lighter read. Fish is a fictional book based on a manager who must transform an unenthusiastic and unhelpful department into an effective team. This book will inspire you to apply these concepts within your business.
Winning Without Losing
Modern working can mean long hours, at weekends, home and on the move. This summer, Hannah is reading about strategies for succeeding in business, whilst still living a balanced life. It can be difficult to switch off from work sometimes, and if this is true for you then this will be the read you need! With 66 strategies there is something for everyone.
Legacy
“15 lessons in leadership”. Paul has been reading up on what the All Blacks can teach us about the business of life. “This book is quite topical seeing that they won the World Cup last year”. Perhaps we can all learn a lesson from this book!
Be Our Guest: Perfecting the Art of Customer Service
Kelly is re-reading this book based around Disney’s approach to business. “Exceeding expectations rather than satisfying them.” Thousands of professionals from around the world have attended business programmes at the Disney Institute to get an insight into their secret. “Be Our Guest” will help you to get that customer service kick you need in your business.
How to Win Friends and Influence People
This summer, Rory’s reading the best-selling book from Dale Carnegie. Offering practical advice and techniques in an easy-to-read style, “How to Win Friends” will help you to boost enthusiasm among your colleagues, enable you to win new clients and increase your popularity.
