Talent: The Market Cap Multiplier

Ram Charan

According to one private equity firm, when a CEO change is made in the 1st year of an investment, the IRR is 6x greater than if the change was made after the first year. Great insights from Ram's newest book, Talent: The Market Cap Multiplier. https://t.co/RRA81PcHD7 https://t.co/QnEj3YIAso

After interviewing David Prerau (Seize the Daylight) for an upcoming show, I believe he would be a popular speaker at @talksatgoogle. If so, would love to hear the questions at the end. https://t.co/Kl2sAnO8NH

I've been re-listening to our conversation @MeanChristy that will be launched on CFO Bookshelf next Tuesday. Accordingly, I just bought Stoner by John Williams. Can't wait to read it - great suggestion. https://t.co/Sb0mF5hgXA

Not sure if I liked the story structure or the plot better. One of those rare novels with a strong business backstory. Tip of the cap to Mary Childs for the recommendation a few months ago. https://t.co/cKHZS7sewI

Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap...and Others Don't

Jim Collins
Mark GandyMark Gandy

"Books like Think and Grow Rich or Jim Collins’s Good to Great offer the reader questionable assumptions built on anecdotal evidence, but these books satisfy our human preference for stories over data." Grifters, good one @highgroundplan https://t.co/qGnBxaZCHv

Working Together: 12 Principles for Achieving Excellence in Managing Projects, Teams, and Organizations

James P. Lewis

@MatthewEMay @kbjanderson No surprise your book is mentioned. Was cool to see the book by Pascal Dennis at the end (underrated in my opinion). I love sleeper picks. One inclusion for consideration - Working Together by James P. Lewis ... one of Mulally's bibles for culture enhancement at Ford.

Adam Morgan

Great points. As I was reading, I couldn't help but think of Adam Morgan's, A Beautiful Constraint, and Matthew May's, The Laws of Subtraction. They would agree too. https://t.co/cA01ktEgfw
