What Can We Learn From David Novak's Recent Book: THE EDUCATION OF AN ACCIDENTAL CEO?

Friends:

Hope that you have been enjoying both the National Geographic and the Google YouTube videos which are now available on this blogsite! I find the idea of "continuous learning" very appealing, and I hope that you are happy with it too!

However, today I'd like to direct your attention to a recently published book - "The Education of an Accidental CEO" -by David Novak.

The author's background is, I think, both interesting and fascinating, and his adoption of the "continuous learning" approach is probably responsible for his success.

Many positive things have been said about David Novak, but I like one reviewer's summary of his achievements best of all:

David Novak’s ideas for building an entire culture around reward and
recognition—getting everyone from division presidents to dishwashers to buy
into recognizing the achievements of others—is studied by other companies and
discussed here in great detail. Whether you are the CEO of a global conglomerate
or a budding entrepreneur, there is something here that will help you get where
you want to go.


That's a wonderful accolade, I think! What is your view? Please leave your comments in the usual place -my "comments" box!

Thanks.
