keep it simple: Patrick M. Lencioni, The Four Obsessions of an Extraordinary Executive. A Leadership Fable

Patrick Lencioni writes stories. Lots of them. He calls them `fables’. `Leadership fables’, to be precise.

two is not a crowd: Sally McGhee, Take Back Your Life! Using Microsoft Outlook to Get Organized and Stay Organized
Posted in clarity, reseña on September 5, 2007 | 2 Comments »
This helpful book cannot be adequately summarized except by comparison and contrast with David Allen’s Getting Things Done. This is so for two reasons.
