We try to avoid hitting you over the head with the “hey, buy our stuff” sales pitch. But we did want to introduce you to a new product offering – our business book summaries. But we’ll skip the song and dance and just give you the highlights, then let you try it for yourself.
It’s been said that no one really reads anymore – we all just scan for information. So with that in mind, we’ve taken the best in business book titles and created short 8-page summaries to keep the information overload to a minimum. You can read the summaries in your email or your electronic reader.
This month we are featuring a summary of New York Times Bestseller The Checklist Manifesto by Atul Gawande. I’ve read this book [and the summary] and it truly has changed the way I run my desk and it’s spilling over into my family life as well.
The belief that a well-designed checklist can provide a better outcome to solving a problem is illustrated with interesting and well-written stories of how checklists are used by pilots in the airline industry, Walmart’s response to Hurricane Katrina, and even the real reason behind why Van Halen requested no brown M&M’s.
Download your summary of The Checklist Manifesto. And if you’d like to see more of our new summaries, just let us know and we can schedule a tour of the summary campus.
