You Have More time Than You Think... Really.
There are 168 hours in a week—Laura Vanderkam's book is a new approach to getting the most out of them
 Laura Vanderkam
Vanderkam also explains, in depth, how to control investment of time so that "there should be almost nothing during your work hours - whatever you choose those to be - that is not advancing you toward your goals for the career and life you want"; how to determine what the "next level" of personal and professional development looks like and how to "seize control" of the schedule while completing a transition to that level; and what a "breakthrough" is and how to achieve it to expedite the transition process.
In 68 Hours: You Have More Time Than You Think, (Amazon affiliate link), Laura draws on her own experience and the stories of other successful people who have fulfilled their goals by allocating their time according to these principles. It is a fun, inspiring, and practical guide that will help men and women of any age, lifestyle, or career get the most out of the time and their lives.

According to Modern Survey, Employee Engagement in Financial Services Falls off a Cliff  Don MacPherson
Over the past twelve months, employee engagement has dropped significantly across the U.S. workforce. In March 2010, Modern Survey released the results of a comprehensive study depicting a precipitous decline in the degree to which U.S. workers are psychologically invested in their work. Now, nearly six months later, a new study focused specifically on the financial services industry shows the same trend of declining engagement, only magnified to a startling degree.
Joining Peter Clayton for an Inside Recruiting Channel Podcast on TotalPicture Radio is the president of Modern Survey, Don MacPherson.
Our Exclusive interview with Don MacPherson is brought to you by Jobs in Pods. "The only podcast where real employers, real recruiters, and progressive staffing and executive search firms talk about their jobs, and how to get them."

What I know About Getting A Job: Career Advice from the Top Bloggers in Human Resources "The best thing that you can do for your career is to get a strong set of mentors." Penelope Trunk
 Penelope Trunk
"Brazen Careerist exists to give everyone an opportunity to build and nurture a network of trusted peers. Other professional sites allow you to display a network, but not necessarily build one. Microblogging resources like Twitter can tell you who you should network with, but it’s tough to build a real relationship on 140 character missives. And social networks like Facebook are great for having a conversation, but it’s a conversation that employers don’t want to hear. "

Who is On Your A List? Who is driving the conversation? When 7 = 350 Million When I interviewed David Meerman Scott about his book World Wide Rave (Amazon affiliate link), he told me the story of Cindy Gordon, vice president of New Media and Marketing Partnerships at Universal Orlando Resort. Cindy was in charge of creating a global marketing campaign to promote the new Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park. She could have spent millions. Instead, she told just seven people. And those seven people told tens of thousands. Gordon estimates that 350 million people around the world heard about the new "Wizarding World", all by her telling seven people.
 Derek Skaletsky
In a recent post on Traackr's blog, titled "Is marketing entering a Post-Demographic Era?", Derek poses the following question: "Let’s pretend that you are a marketing exec at a packaged goods company which is on the verge of launching a new, unique laundry detergent. Now let’s pretend that I have put together two distinct groups of people to which you could market — but you can only choose one. The first group is made up of women, aged 25-45 with an average of 1.7 children and average HH incomes above $75k. The other group is made up of people who are all passionate about laundry and other household chores. Which group would you pick?"

The Referral Engine: Teaching Your Business to Market Itself  John Jantsch
We all know referrals are the most important and effective marketing tool there is -- whether you're promoting yourself (in a job search), or promoting your company or small business. What this book does is help you organize a process for generating referrals: the right referrals. Particularly helpful to me is the chapter on Convergence Strategies and using social media to accelerate and amplify your referral network.
According to Jantsch, most business owners believe that whether customers refer them is entirely out of their hands. But science shows that people can’t help recommending products and services to their friends—it’s an instinct wired deep in the brain. And smart businesses can tap into that hardwired desire.
In the introduction, Jantsch writes, "This book is about referrals, but it offers much more than just another set of tips and tricks for generating new leads. The Referral Engine offers a systematic approach to generating word of mouth as a comprehensive marketing strategy. in a larger sense, it proposes a new and better way of doing business." John delivers on the promise. If your a recruiter, consultant, coach, professional service organization, or in current job search, you need this book!

Delivering Happiness: A Path to Profits, Passion, and Purpose
 Tony Hsieh
In 1998, Tony sold LinkExchange, the company he co-founded, to Microsoft for $265 million. He then joined Zappos as an adviser and investor, and eventually became CEO.
Here's a few of the ideas Tony has put in place a Zappos: Pay new employees $2000 to quit. Make customer service the entire company, not just a department. Focus on company culture as the #1 priority. Apply research from the science of happiness to running a business. Help employees grow both personally and professionally. Seek to change the world. Oh, and make money too.
Sound crazy? It's all standard operating procedure at Zappos.com, the online retailer that's doing over $1 billion in gross merchandise sales every year.
In 2009, Zappos was listed as one of Fortune magazine's top 25 companies to work for, and was acquired by Amazon later that year in a deal valued at over $1.2 billion on the day of closing.
In his first book, Tony shares the different business lessons he learned in life, from a lemonade stand and pizza business through LinkExchange, Zappos, and more. Ultimately, he shows how using happiness as a framework can produce profits, passion, and purpose both in business and in life.

How New Ways of Living and Working Drive Post Crash Prosperity: A Conversation with Richard Florida  Richard Florida
Richard is Director of the Martin Prosperity Institute and Professor of Business and Creativity at the Rotman School of Management, University of Toronto. His ideas on the “creative class,” commercial innovation, and regional development have been featured in major ad campaigns from BMW and Apple, and are being used globally to change the way regions and nations do business and transform their economies. I first met Richard at the HCI Summit in Chicago several years ago, where he was a keynote speaker.
In The Great Reset, Richard Florida provides an engaging and sweeping examination of these previous economic epochs, or "resets." He distills the deep forces that have altered physical and social landscapes and eventually reshaped economies and societies. Looking toward the future, Florida identifies the patterns that will drive the next Great Reset and transform virtually every aspect of our lives—from how and where we live, to how we work, to how we invest in individuals and infrastructure, to how we shape our cities and regions. Florida shows how these forces, when combined, will spur a fresh era of growth and prosperity, define a new geography of progress, and create surprising opportunities for all of us.
