GOOD TO GREAT: If you desire to take your organization to the next level I strongly encourage reading and applying the concepts in the book "Good to Great", by Jim Collins. It is by far the best road map to take your organization to the next level.
THE E MYTH Revisited, Why Most Small Businesses Don't Work and What to Do About It : Michael E. Gerber has been promoting the importance of working on your business instead of in your business for over 25 years.
YOU, Inc, The Art of Selling Yourself: Harry Beckwith and Christine Clifford Beckwith combine to write "The Definitive Guide to Career and Personal Success".

LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT: Developing leaders is critical to taking any organization to the next level. Tools include several books by John Maxwell, "The Secret", by Ken Blanchard and Mark Miller, and "The Leadership Challenge" by James Kouzes and Barry Posner. The Maxwell books and The Leadership Challenge come with workbooks that are very helpful for individual or small group studies.

EMPLOYEE FINANCIAL EDUCATION/401(k) Participation: Caring for employees' financial education is important. "The Automatic Millionaire" by David Bach, is the best teaching tool I have seen in 25 years for people of all ages and financial situations. It is a quick read with a powerful message. If provided and reviewed with 401(k) participants it will most likely result in significant increases in participation and deferral rates.
