Don Kardux, Business Navigators, brings us his monthly view of a book that would be helpful for us to read! Dob shares:
Bill Munn is a graduate of Owens Illinois' corporate world. He rose through the
ranks from Sales Rep in 1971 to VP Division General Manager with five steps in-between.
In 1990 he left OI and started his consulting practice
where his web site explains his focus. “Bill Munn helps executives manage teams to their greatest potential,
customizing coaching plans to maximize the performance of each individual.”
His personal success
provides the background of his nineteen years of experience with OI which
resulted in the publication of “Lead or Be Led”
It’s a gem of a read and
only 86 pages in length.
While the book is
relatively short (Twenty –Eight chapters) it is packed with insight and
practical action steps. The action steps (he calls them –Implementation Tools)
are deceptively simple and therefore encouraging for the reader to use.
Bill didn’t write the
following words. I don’t know who penned them but they represent his view. “In order to do things on purpose,
you must have a purpose.”
Two of the chapters really
echo Marcus Buckingham’s Strength Based
Management Approach and therefore resonate with me. The chapters are:
11. Find your power alley
12. What about weakness?
The book is worth the read
and if you want more you can go to his website and click on his blog.
