  Business Book Summaries In The Accidental Sales Manager, Chris Lytle aims to help sales managers get out of the “sales management trap,” and become more effective at their jobs. Selling and sales management are two different jobs, and require two different mental approaches. The transition from the former to the latter can be difficult. Some never make a meaningful transition because the characteristics that make someone great in sales do not necessarily apply to what makes someone a great sales manager.

  Business Book Summaries The rise of giant corporations led to the atomization and specialization of work, resulting in workers being disconnected from both the final product and the purpose of their work.

  Business Book Summaries Generational diversity in the workplace can help companies capitalize on employees’ unique abilities and experiences, but it also creates challenges for managers charged with leading this generational mix. Conflict arises as new generations bring values and expectations that vastly differ from those of longtime workers. Older generations are beginning to see the logic behind the demands of younger workers and in doing so have learned that company loyalty may no longer make sense.

  Business Book Summaries In Executive Presence, Harrison Monarth, an expert in coaching high-level leaders in the art of perception management, reveals the critical difference between CEOs and those who want to be CEOs. What sets CEOs apart is not a matter of intelligence, connections, or luck; it can be summed up as executive presence. While many business leaders toil in obscurity and expect great things to follow, those on the path to corporate leadership spend their time perfecting the types of leadership communication skills that generate respect and get others to share their vision.

  Business Book Summaries While there are a host of factors that contribute to a stellar organization, the primary driver of its success consists of the people at the top. Many of the skills necessary to be successful at the helm are distinct from those that allow a person to attain an executive level position. If the mantra, “Show up. Keep up. Shut up,” brought a person through the leadership pipeline, they cannot rely on that same advice to propel their future success. In fact, “Shut up,” is the very last thing an executive must seek to do.

  Business Book Summaries In Leadership Lessons, authors Greg Swartz and Julie K. Thorpe explore how great achievers throughout history can influence an individual’s or organization’s performance in the modern world.

  Business Book Summaries In The Upside of Irrationality, Dan Ariely draws on his background in behavioral economics to examine irrational human behavior and how it affects decision making in the workplace and in human relationships.
