Books are my business and my addiction, but books do not teach me about my business (odd isn’t that?) I would have to name journals instead - Library Journal and Booklist are two of the tools of the trade. For any future “business” I may find myself in - Perhaps this would be my handbook: A Ritual for Laypersons: Rites for Holy Communion and the Pastoral Care of the Sick and Dying.

My favorite is Good to Great including the monograph for the social sector. This book does an awesome job of painting the picture of a great company. It has really helped the nonprofit organization I am involved with get on the right track.

The Daily Drucker, from Peter Druker. A book full of inspiring paragraphs, one for each day, making you think about what you are doing and should do.
Also any other from this author is fine, too

Has to be Getting Things Done by David Allen. While it’s boring in the sense that everyone knows about it, this is a book that will really change your view about to do lists forever.

Salesforce.com has taken on a Microsoft attitude. I like SugarCRM better for many reasons, but their hosted plan is just BRAINDEAD. Many small businesses just don’t have 5 people. If they would only allow monthly payments for as few as 1 person, they would be the dominant player in the small business space, but their business plan is nowhere near as good as their product…

Richard Marcinko, LEADERSHIP SECRETS OF THE ROGUE WARRIOR. It’s a hoot, and, taken with a grain of salt, has some good things to say, especially if you work in a team or hierarchical environment. A couple of my favorites of the “ten commandments” are: “Thou hast not to like it; thou just hast to do it.” and “Verily, thou art not paid for thy methods, but for thy results.”

When the touchy-feelie won’t work any longer, consult the Rogue Warrior!

The Dip” by Seth Godin is my favorite. It makes a lot of sense and I find it motivating.

If your stuck on a bigger task, back away from it, do a few smaller tasks, give yourself some wins, gain some momentum, then attach the larger task.

I never leave any paperwork on my desk, even if it just goes into my generic pending file, and I spend at least 20 minutes the next morning looking at the pending file and planning my day, instead of jumping in and failing to prioritize properly.

“The Brand You 50″ by Tom Peters.

Sure, the “You, Inc.” thing is a cliche now, but that’s in large part because everyone saw Peters’ point. I’ve read a bunch of good books lately that could qualify here, but Tom Peters still brings my head around and gets me to concentrate on things in a way other writers generally don’t. Also, since it has a lot of to-dos, it’s practical as well as big-picture.

Shalom Dustin,

Two books: my copy of The Complete Works Of William Shakespeare and Time Power by Charles Hobbs.

Contained within the first is everything anyone ever needs to know about human interactions, the soul of all business.

For more than 20 years I have depended upon my ragged copy of the second and Hobbs’s concepts of Universal Principles, Urgent vs. Vital and bringing your life into congruence to live my life in as focused a way as I have ever discovered.

B’shalom,

Jeff Hess

Well of COURSE it’s “Getting Things Done” by David Allen. It’s a classic!

(I hope my comment shows up this time. I’ve commented on several posts this week and at least half of them never showed up.)

This is very trite, I know, but Stephen Covey’s 7 Habits series has helped me quite a bit. I have difficulty stepping back and grasping the big picture, defining life goals. 7 Habits is a good inspiration for that. I’m good at plugging away on things, and keeping busy, but I needed (and still need) help ensuring that I was doing the most important things.

I work in new product development and I keep coming back to “Managing the Design Factory” by Don Reinertsen. The principles laid out in the book are timeless.
