Make a Difference by Killing the Bad Things

May 17, 2012 in Author of Book, Book Review, Coaching, General Business, Managment, New Thinking, Sustainability

I chat with Lisa Bodell regarding her first book that launched this week (May 15, 2012) and is already a must read for business people who want to help their company grow and prosper the right way.

Innovation isn’t allways doing “the next big thing”. Find out how making small but relevant changes within a company and tweaking mindset of the employees can change the course of a floundering organization into a powerhouse to be reckoned with. Lisa’s passion for the subject makes for a great listen.

Check out more at her book’s website for more information and business building tools:
