2856 Hours Left...until the end of 2009. And I
figure we have six to twelve months left, while the competition is weakened and
still in survival mode, to grab market share and prepare for ongoing turbulent
times. How are you going to spend the remaining hours of 2009 as you prepare for
2010?
What Top Leaders Will Do -- ideas are more
important than money (per the last insight) -- the founder of Kinko's, Paul
Orfalea, described how one idea he had generated $30 million to the bottom line.
It's why Bill Gates continues his Think Weeks as he runs his foundation, plowing
through hundreds of books, manuscripts, etc. It's why Eric Schmidt, the CEO of
Google, emphasizes his habit of shutting off his Blackberry on weekends and
reading a book or two. I believe teams versed in the latest business ideas and
drive a "learning culture" will continue to dominate their
market.
14 Books in 24 Hours -- at a minimum, you should
be well versed in the following books, many released in 2009. You can read all
these books or commit 24 hours and learn directly from the authors themselves.
Invest 1% of the hours left this year, some without leaving your office, to make
the other 99% more powerful, equipping yourself to remain a few crucial steps
ahead of your customers and competitors.
