Sorry for the delay in announcing the winners of my Saving the World at Work contest. I’ve been busy, er, saving the world at work, or at least trying to :) Hope you have been entertained while you wait.
So I received 3 wonderful entries, so I’m going to ask Tim Sanders to send a copy to my first 2 people, and I will send a copy to winner #3.

One of my favorite authors of all-time is Tim Sanders. I wrote about his first book Love is the Killer App in Be a Lovecat.
Recently, Tim re-launched his new book Saving the World at Work and I am excited to share an interview about this powerful book with you.

One of the books that changed the way I manage and live my life is Love is the Killer App by Tim Sanders. It’s not a new book, but it’s a classic.
I’ve owned this book 5 or 6 times, I own it on audio, and I’ve seen Tim give a keynote about this book in the past.
It changed the way I think because it talks about being a “lovecat.” What’s a lovecat, you ask?
According to Tim, a lovecat is someone who is successful and happy about they got there.
Sounds like me…now :) Hasn’t always been this way, but I’m …read more

Tim Sanders talks about leadership, in an extremely straightforward way. He talks about how organizations stink from the head. 1 minute, 10 seconds to learn a powerful lesson. Watch the video.
It’s a simple thing to understand: If the leader is poison, then the organization will soon follow.
If you’re wondering why folks aren’t following you, or wondering why the folks that report to you aren’t performing at the level you expect them to, look to yourself first, then look to them.
That Fish Stinks From the Head.
