Influencer: The Power to Change Anything
I just got word about a new book coming out at the end of September called Influencer:  The Power to Change Anything.  I am kind of excited about it, since I recently read a similar book called "The Secret."  I have the opportunity to get a pre-release copy, so I will provide a review.  Good or bad, I will let you know.  This is the latest book from the authors of the New York Times bestseller "Crucial Conversations" (Kerry Patterson, Joseph Grenny, David Maxfield, Ron McMillan, and Al Switzler of the company VitalSmarts).



Here's the trailer on youtube.com.
 
Looking back, I have noticed that before reading "The Secret" I was already applying many of the principles in some ways.  Learning about the concept helped me to realize that I could apply these instincts to more things and see better results.  Have I seen results?  Yes, I have, and I have applied them to management.  Perhaps I will go into more detail when I review the book.  (Read on for more...)
If you pre-order before October 31st, you can get a 34% discount from BarnesandNoble.com.  Here is another blog post about the book from another Know More Media writer: Tim Stay   Here is the book website:   InfluencerBook.com

Hi Linda,

I hope you like our book, Influencer: The Power to Change Anything. Our focus is on problems that are:
a) Profound: Big and important to you, your family, your business, or your community.
b) Persistent: Not one-time concerns, but long-term, insidious challenges.
c) Resistant: You've already tried a variety of quick fixes--in fact you may have tried a lot of approaches, but the problem just bounces back.

Examples: losing weight, stopping a gambling addiction, helping your son get off drugs, turning around your firm's workplace-safety record, or reducing crime in your neighborhood.

As you can imagine, there is no "silver bullet" kind of answer to profound, persistent, and resistant problems. But there ARE answers that work, and they work amazingly well. We use a wide variety of examples to illustrate solutions and to show how to apply them to the problems you care about most.

Hope you enjoy the read. Please let me know your reactions.

David Maxfield

I recently received a pre-release copy of "Influencer: The Power to Change Anything."  To be blatantly honest, I usually speed read self help and improvement books so they don't put me to sleep, but I did not want to speed... [Read More]
