In Lists - 800 CEO Read Blog
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.
Innovation in BusinessWeek SmallBiz

In Innovation - 800 CEO Read Blog
I don't know if your parents are like this, but my mom always sends a bag of stuff home with me whenever I visit. Most of the time, it is magazines she has finished reading (when I was in college, she would fill out all of those offers where you send in three proofs of purchase to get some free t-shirt and put my dorm address as the send-to).
In this week's bag was the Spring 2006 edition of BusinessWeek SmallBiz. The cover story is "ideas that BLOOM". The article profiles Numi Tea, Benjamin Obdyke, and Bravado Designs. It talks about their efforts to be more innovative.
Kathryn From, CEO of Bravado, uses books with her management team to foster innovation. She says in the article: "We recently read Good To Great by Jim Collins and spent half a day talking about how we can use it."
On the same page is an outstanding list of books on innovation (kudos to writer Diane Brady):
- The Ten Faces of Innovation by Tom Kelley with Jonathan Littman
- The Design of Everyday Things by Donald Norman
- Orbiting The Giant Hairball by Gordon MacKenzie
- 10 Rules for Strategic Innovators by Vijay Govindarajan and Chris Trimble
- The Art of Innovation by Tom Kelley
- Blue Ocean Strategy by W. Chan Kim and Rene Mauborgne
- The Medici Effect by Frans Johansson
- Harvard Business Review on Innovation by Clayton Christensen et al.
