SlideShare

I have visited slideshare quite a few times in the past, but really didn’t capture it’s full potential until today. I was originally linked into this presentation on “Death by Powepoint” by Alexi Kapterev.

I then looked at the associated links ala youtube style. It was interesting to see the wealth of presentations when you search for innovation. This is really a way you can cross-pollinate and get outside what you are used to without leaving you computer. For those of you on LinkedIN check out “leveraging Social Networks for Results below”

Do you ever wonder what sucessful people read?

Published by scott.fisher under Book, Cross-pollinate, Trends

As a pretty prolific reader, I always wonder what other people read?  I usually ask my friends what they read and this guides me to expand my horizons.   Another question that always comes to me when trying to find my next read is “What do really sucessful people read?”   What is it that people who’s billable hour wage is  a lot higher than mine read?

The answer to this popped up when I was following a random link from one of my blogs I normally read.  I can’t remember which tangent I was off on,  but I sent the link to myself so I would make sure to put it up here on the blog.

US News and World Report has a Special Report on The Best Business Books.   The articles lists the books that the likes of people like Chris Anderson, Carly Fiorina, Mark Cuban, Hector Ruiz, Thomas Donaldson,  etc.  ( I guess if you have your own wikipedia.org page you have made it)

By the way Chris Anderson has a great book I just finished entitled  “The Long Tail” that I highly recommend.
