Turn the Ship Around by L. David Marquet

2024-03-27 00:39:55

"Marquet was a Naval Academy graduate and an experienced officer when selected for submarine command. Trained to give orders in the traditional model of “know all–tell all” leadership, he faced a new wrinkle when he was shifted to the Santa Fe, a nuclear-powered submarine. Facing the high-stress environment of a sub where there’s little margin for error, he was determined to reverse the trends he found on the Santa Fe: poor morale, poor performance, and the worst retention rate in the fleet."

The End of Average by Todd Rose

2024-03-27 00:22:29

The author states there is no such thing as average when measuring individual's abilities, talents, and potential. The army took 10 measurements of their pilots, got the average of each measurement but then 0/4000 pilots were average across the board. When you build for average, you build for no one.

Demand-Side Sales by Bob Moesta

2024-03-27 00:13:26

The authors introduces a paradigm shift in how sales are approached, emphasizing the importance of understanding customer's needs and helping them make progress, rather than pushing products. Understand your product's job to be done, where the customer struggles, how they buy rather than how you want to sell, where on the timeline you are, and you'll find yourself helping people rather than selling things. The struggle creates demand and your product / service solves the struggle.

Viral Loops by Adam Penenberg

2024-02-21 22:58:52

Viral Loops are mechanisms where each additional users brings in 1.0+ new users. This process is self-replicating, much like a virus, leading to exponential growth without the need for traditional marketing. Companies best suited to viral loops are web based, free, organizers of content (vs. producers), simple concept, built in virality that creates word of mouth, extremely fast adoption, exponential growth, have predictable growth rates, exhibit network effects, eventually hit a tipping point where they become the default and eventually saturate the market.
