The Game-Changer: How You Can Drive Revenue and Profit Growth with InnovationIn this book, Procter & Gamble's chairman and CEO, A. G. Lafley, together with management Guru Ram Charan, defines, describes, draws examples of, and delineates how innovation became a part of not only the behemoth consumer-packaged-goods company but also part of Lego and Nokia (among others). A number of commandments accompanied the company’s innovation-centric strategy: the consumer is boss, inside and outside cocreation is encouraged, the innovation process is tangible (and must be followed), and risks can be managed. Most important is his emphasis on human interaction as the key; even better, the last section focuses exclusively on developing a culture of innovation, from promoting the rules of brainstorming to the desired attributes for employees and leaders: courageous, connected and collaborative, curious, open. There can't be perhaps a better book to start understanding Innovation than this book.
Think Big and Kick Ass in Business and LifeDonald J. Trump is an icon. He is the developer of some of the most prestigious addresses worldwide, including Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue. I'm not a huge fan of him, but somewhat gets drawn to him. In this book, he provides advice on how be successful in life and business, which is straight to the point. Currently seeing it mostly as a bed side read.
