The Tripping Point in Leadership by David Byrd

Companies often look at why things are not better by listing off things that are usually comprise of people problems. David however, doesn’t see those as the problem, but just the symptoms of apathy. Now who wants to admit they have apathy? Not to fret. Once we understand what apathy is, we can begin to overcome its forces in us and our organizations.

I talk with David about this nasty little word “apathy”, what it takes to cure it and how long it takes to leave it behind.

Fired Up or Burned Out by Michael Stallard

A company who has employees who show up and do their job and go home is no where near as effective as a company whose employees are connected to each other. From your perspective you may see that gap but you might not know how to change the culture to get your team fired up. This book isn’t about getting people hyped-up or about turning everyone into a lemming. It is about the nuts and bolts of having people work together and be engaged. And the stories about real-life leaders at the end of the book are fantastic.
