A Seth Godin Gem - Tribes

I came across the below Slideshare by Seth Godin on tribes. I found the Slideshow quite interesting, which subsequently had me watching a talk he gave on Vimeo.com. From here I ended up getting the audio book for free somehow?? can't remember how.

Anyway the audio book was so good I've subsequently bought the book - Tribes: We Need You to Lead Us

The bonus feature of the audio book is that Seth reads it himself. He does manage to hold your attention and present a number of good points, this is the that I've bought the book.

Hope you find this interesting.

Cheers

Andrew

The No Complaining Rule

Continuing the theme of brief posts, I thought I'd throw up a link to an audio book I've listened to over the last couple of days. Maybe it will not be as noteworthy for you, in fact it possibly resonated a little for me considering the career year I have had.

Anyway, it is a good 'Listen' with a good number of simple anecdotes, maybe if you are a bit peeved off with what is happening around you it may help out and give you yet another tool/approach to improve your position.

You can obtain 'The No Complaining Rule' by Jon Gordon from Audible.com

Alternatively if you're not into listening and prefer reading you can obtain the book from Amazon - The No Complaining Rule: Positive Ways to Deal with Negativity at Work

Not Really a Post

Thinking I should start motivating myself down the blogger path again - don't know when, but to commence the habit here is a quote I came across today from Merlin Mann of 43Folders Fame.

"Apparently, you should pretend to like anyone who pretends to like you. This is called "Networking," and it's why the web smells like feet." - hotdogsladies on Twitter (aka Merlin Mann)

This jumped out at me as I'd just been doing a bit of a career planning map, and I noted that I was not particularly good at the concept of networking!! Interestingly enough I do see a lot of people around me who are remunerated quite well, due to their strong networking skills.

Just an observation - More to come in the future.
