I wanted to take a minute to give a plug for a very interesting book, "Mavericks at Work" by William C. Taylor and Polly LaBarre. Mavericks very much influenced and gave definition to some ideas that I have been rolling around for some time now.
As part of "The Maverick Promise" in the Introduction the authors state, "We will consider Mavericks at Work a success if it opens your eyes, engages your imagination, and encourages you to think bigger and aim higher. Most of all, we will consider it a success if it equips you to act more boldly as a leader and win more decisively as a competitor. We will measure our success by how much we contribute to yours."
I can tell you that for my part Mavericks fulfilled that promise. After working for and with a number of companies that have lost sight of providing relevantly valueable services and/or products to their clients and providing a productive environment to their employees the themes of this book were envigorating. Whether you are working in retail, corporate banking, small business, or consulting this book will provide you with insights that will make you better at your current work and inspire your future projects.Some other great resources and blog links are available at the Mavericks at Work Website.
