The business loans suppose to be useful for guys, which are willing to organize their organization. By the way, it’s comfortable to get a short term loan.

I found this book very interesting for idea generation for a small business.

TVlasky comments on: Just Ask Leadership: Why Great Managers Always Ask the Right Questions

This was another book recommended to me by my executive coach. And like all the books that he has recommended, this too was a winner.

All questions are not created equal. The right question can empower, inspire and challenge. The wrong question - a gotcha you question - enhance the status of the asker but demoralize and create distrust among those being asked.

1) How to improve the vision of the organization
2) How to ensure accountability
3) How to build unity and cooperation
4) How to create better decisions
5) How to motivate to action. In each chapter there are a series of questions and discussion about those questions.

It is a quick read (finish in a day)
Simple yet effective examples
Easy to understand

The questions at the end of each chapter can get a bit repetitive. It could have been made more compact

TVlasky comments on: Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity

I read StrengthsFinder 2.0: A New and Upgraded Edition of the Online Test from Gallup’s Now, Discover Your Strengths and that started everything. From there I got hooked on executive coaching. I had to start reading more books and this book delivered.

I must say, my favorite tip i use everyday is “any next action that can be completed in two minutes or less should be completed immediately.” This one strategy helps me more than anything else. By taking action immediately, I get so much done and my e-mail gets cleared out each day.

Great book it helps me out a lot.
