With Boss's Day nearing (yes, I know you have probably never heard of the event), it's a good idea to show your appreciation of your employer. Boss's Day falls on Sunday, October 16 this year, in case you were wondering.
One useful gift for that boss of yours is a book. If you are a boss yourself, you will probably want to receive a gift book yourself. An e-book works well, as does a hard copy edition, and both are happily accepted.
My good friend Lisa Haneberg (and also a provider of excellent advice to me) of Management Craft has written a powerful 82 page e-book, packed with useful and practical information called 9 Lives of Leadership. By working together with publisher Jack Covert (who authored the book's foreward) of 800-CEO-READ, Lisa has produced a handy and easy to download and read pdf format e-book.
Her premise was to interview and pick the brains of many of the leading experts in print today. In effect, Lisa gleaned the best ideas, from many of the well known authors of business books, on the market today.
Her list of authors interviewed is impressive:
Jason Jennings
Laurence Haughton
Sally Hogshead
Gary Neilson
Peter Han
Tim Sanders
Luda Kopeikina
Eileen Shaprio
Keith Ferrazzi
The information is presented as expected from a leading business blogger like Lisa Haneberg. It's informal, often funny, entertaining, and highly informative. I enjoyed the book immensely, and I recommend it for Boss's Day; and any other business day. In fact, you should read a copy yourself, and be on the same management page as your employer. If you are the boss, then you can stay a few steps ahead of your staff; as well as the competition.
For more information on purchasing the book, check out 800-CEO-READ for all the details.
It's worth it see your boss smile. Right?
Order a copy of 9 Lives of Leadership and find out for yourself.
