20 Leadership Books AV Leaders Read When They’re Not Reading CI, slide 11

Michael Shinn, director of global managed services: “Who Moved My Cheese? is a great book about change and how change is important for survival. It relates a short story to organizational structures and the challenges and successes that are associated with changing behaviors, cultures, mindsets, and best practices to meet the new demands of business. The Tipping Point is about how each individual’s contribution to a product/service, no matter how small the contribution, can create a cultural domino effect to providing an exceptional product/service. The attitude that develops from the pride of contribution begins to spread in an organization like an epidemic and therefore creates a culture focused on being the best at what we do. Nice Bike explains how important cultural acceptance is to the human psyche. The ability to compliment a team member on their contributions to the grander whole builds a sense of trust and loyalty. Where there is trust and loyalty you can find happiness and productivity in an organization. Management can learn a lot about interpersonal workgroups through the stories relayed in this book. Not to mention, it is very funny.”
