Although I am technically not in "sales," I find these types of books helpful for understanding people and their different methodologies of interacting with others. Creating a healthy culture in any organization is important. While the approach in this book is from a sales management vantage point, I am quite familiar with developing a culture within our churches, schools, and other nonprofit organizations. Developing a healthy culture has to be a top priority if we are going to succeed in the long run.
I am only a short way into the book, but I can already see the wisdom in some of the observations shared by the author. Chapter two is centered on "Creating the Culture ProActively and Implementing It." I found rule # 2 on page 33 very pertinent, "Think Culture Before Tactics." Anyone who has tried to implement change within an organization to improve the culture understands the reality of this rule.
I realize that it is "Fat Tuesday" and we could explore the many ways to splurge before entering the discipline of Lent. I am continuing my New Year's resolution to read more and expand my knowledge base. I like that better than expanding my waistline. In whatever way you are celebrating today, please remember that tomorrow is a day of fasting and abstinence from meat. Get your Lent off to a good start and maintain the course throughout.
