Bill Welter/Prepared Mind of a Leader Interview
If you follow any of our websites, you will have seen us heavily promoting The Prepared Mind of the Leader. I fell in love with this book back in January. We have featured it twice on inBubbleWrap. Bill and Jean wrote a series of posts about the eight skills on the 8cr weblog (this post has links to all of them).
Yesterday, we have a teleconference and invited everyone who had bought and won the book over the past four months. The call lasted a little over 30 minutes and provides the back story for how the book came about, Bill's perspective on leadership, and discussion of some of the skills from the book.
This was a great way to end The Prepared Mind of a Leader World Tour.

A Conversation with Joe Finder and Malcolm Gladwell
I think this entry is a real treat.
This week's podcast is a conversation between Joe Finder and Malcolm Gladwell. Joe has written a number of novels that all take place in the business setting. His most recent is Killer Instinct (see Tom's Q&A). Malcolm's most recent book is Blink.
The interview is about 45 minutes and these two authors talk about topics ranging from micro-expressions to profiling to interviewing.

A BIG thanks to Joe, Malcolm, and St. Martin's Press for letting us share this!

Srikumar Rao/Are You Ready To Succeed? Interview
In this interview, I talk with Srikumar Rao, author of Are You Ready to Succeed?: Unconventional Strategies for Achieving Personal Mastery in Business and Life.
This book is about deep, heady things. It is about how your perception of reality shapes everything. It is about how the mental chatter in your head drives your decision-making. It is about finding joy in all aspects of your life.
Srikumar says he wrote the book as "an instrument to bring about profound change, and it will only happen if you invest a good deal of time and emotional energy into doing the exercises [in the book]".
I am really encourage you to listen to this one.
