The Last Word - April 2009

The Last Word

What book has most impacted the way you operate your business?

 

 

Leslie Parraguirre, President, Colours, Inc., Las Vegas

The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren

“The way you see your life shapes your life.” These words have impacted my career and how I strive to live. Life and business, especially today, are stressful and can bring disappointments. This book reminds me of what is most important and that the power of prayer is mighty.

 

Dave Rounds, President, uptimeLV, Las Vegas

“Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill

It still does not cease to amaze me how powerful the mind is. The philosophies are a vital part of the way we set goals and make decisions as a company. If the employees do not conceive and believe, then the company cannot achieve.



Luther Mack, Owner, Mack and Associates, Reno

The Saint, The Surfer and The CEO by Robin Sharma; Monday Morning Leadership by David Cottrell

The first reminds me that it is possible to do what my heart desires and turn my personal vision into a professional reality, while the second helps me focus and find direction when I need it.


Dennis F. McGovern, General Manager, The Legends at Sparks Marina, Reno

If it Ain’t Broke...Break it! And Other Unconventional Wisdom for a Changing Business World by Robert Kriegel & Louis Patler

An entertaining and light read that I found gave me a more open perspective on dealing with change in the workplace. It left me feeling I had “permission” to challenge the status quo.

 

Frank Yoder, President, Advanced Information Systems, Las Vegas

The Bible

Growing up, my parents taught me principals from the Bible that prepared me to conduct my life and business dealings in an ethical and fair manner. The lessons I learned profoundly influence the way I operate my business. Being fair and just in all transactions is the foundation of my company.
