Such an amazing book! I rank it as one of the top lifestyle books I've read in recent memory. Written with right between the eyes gusto; it's sure to be the difference that makes a difference for anyone who gives it a diligent read.
Have an amazing Thanksgiving.

Resistance and the War of Art
When my friend Chris gave me a copy of Steve Pressfield's non fiction book, The War of Art (Amazon affiliate link) in the kindle version (publishers, take note, please) as a gift, I put off reading it. I told myself that I was saving it for my upcoming trip to WOMMA in Las Vegas. Of course, par...
Great read! I especially love the point about serving the employee. I have long held two beliefs that relate to this point. 1. Businesses and organizations are built to serve the people that serve it. 2. Happy team members are more productive. You get number one right and the rest of the points in your post happen nearly by default.
Have a compelling day.

Human is the new black
Very interesting evening last night hosted by the IPA 44 club: Newly elected IPA president Rory Sutherland and RSA CEO Matthew Taylor speaking around (mostly around) the subject of the new human sciences and how important they are to our ability to do our jobs. For both of these great idea-h...
Great post - I admire the attempt as I think this is an area that keeps companies on the sidelines. Especially the larger ones. The old mantra, if you can't measure it don't use it, really holds true in a lot of organizations.
I think the only thing I would think about adding is a consumer feedback metric. In other words if a company goes so far as to monitor, engage, take feedback and act they will by default have a result. That result, positive or negative is the end game and should have weight in the overall score.
I hope that makes sense.
Thanks for the great content. M
Conversation Over Appearance: Finding Social Media Engagement Leaders
Company engagement using social media is not just the appearance of activity, rather that which is most important in a good social media marketing program; monitoring, dialogue, outreach and action. As a consequence I suggest industry observers should rank companies on how they use rather than i...
