Add Tim Sanders (Love is The Killer App) to the list of authors who have taken up blogging. I like his post yesterday on the ever present Barticle, articles that got turned into book and should not have. You'll see he mentions 800ceoread as a means to avoiding bad books. :)
In another great post, Tim also quotes a survey that shows there is a big reading gap between the average business person and Fortune 1000 executives (hint: you probably need to read more).
I thought I would compile a decent list of other authors who are also wisely getting their message out through blogging:
- Frans Johansson (The Medici Effect)
- Seth Godin (Small is the New Big, Purple Cow)
- Tom Peters (Re-Imagine)
- Ben McConnell and Jack Huba (Creating Customer Evangelists)
- Laura Ries (The Origin of Brands)
- Bob Sutton (Hard Facts, Weird Ideas That Work)
- Guy Kawasaki (The Art of The Start)
- Malcolm Galdwell (blink)
- Andrea Learned (Don't Think Pink)
- Jill Konrath (Selling To Big Companies)
- Steve Farber (The Radical Edge)
- Lisa Haneberg (Focus Like a Laser Beam)
- Brian Carroll (Lead Generation for The Complex Sale)
- John Hagel (The Only Sustainable Edge)
- Joe Jaffe (Life After The 30-Second Spot)
- Greg Stielstra (Pyromarketing)
- Dan Pink (A Whole New Mind)
- Chris Anderson (The Long Tail)
This list is in no way complete. Please leave others I have missed in the comments.
Focus Like a Laser Beam/Lisa Haneberg Interview

In Audio - 800 CEO Read Blog
This week's podcast is with Lisa Haneberg, author of Focus Like a Laser Beam: 10 Ways to Do What Matters Most. You may have read her popular blog Management Craft. This is Lisa's third book and the first of two coming from Jossey-Bass. Check out High Impact Middle Management and she was a contributer to More Space (disc.- I was the publisher/editor).
My interest in interviewing was to find out why she choose the laser beam metaphor and to better understand the power of focus. I am not someone who is very good at focusing. Listen to what Lisa has to say on how relaxing, fun, and challenges all have to do with focus.

In General Management - 800 CEO Read Blog
Lisa Haneberg's new book Focus Like a Laser Beam is reviewed today by the Miami Herald's Richard Pachter. Lisa and I recorded an interview on Friday and thought it would be good to get posted to go with the review.
If you don't know Lisa, you should start with her blog Management Craft.
