Neat Stuff
We do not have a monopoly on good ideas... but we manage to hear, see, and witness lots of them.
Worth reading …
The Experience Economy by B. Joseph Pine & James Gilmore
This is still a classic if you want to understand how our economy is shifting from one based on the selling of services to the creation of experiences. [$21 from Amazon]
Why Are All the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria? by Beverly Tatum
If you want to understand diversity, you need to understand the development of racial identity. She will potentially make you a bit uncomfortable, but the book is well worth reading. [$12 from Amazon]
The Collaboration Challenge by James Austin
There are not very many good books on community partnering (see articles below). This is probably the best of the bunch. [$17.50 from Amazon]
Free Agent Nation by Daniel Pink
This is a thoughtful book on how our economy is changing from one based on large corporations to an economy based on “free agents.” This is a good thoughtful read. [$10.50 from Amazon]
The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell
Although this book is several years old (2000), it is still worth reading if you haven’t done so already. It provides insights as to why some trends and ideas catch on… and others don’t. [$15 from Amazon]
