Cutting Through The Crap

Cutting Through The Crap

by Adam Burns

Books

Napoleon Hill famously wrote about the secrets of the successful, and what he started, thousands have continued. I have been writing about business for over 15 years, and my bookshelves groan under the weight of ‘executive’ reading: some brilliant, some controversial, some faddish, some out of date even before they were published.

Like diet books, I’ve been urged to man up ‘ eat red meat, aggressively pursue targets: or go organic, improve my EQ, seek balance. Some worked, some left me unsatisfied and windy. The point is: to improve we have to learn. We have to try things, experiment, and see what suits us.

Modern business makes huge demands of its executives. We expect more of their business abilities, more rounded management skills. And finding the right, high quality advice can be both challenging and time consuming. MeetTheBoss TV is a solution.
