The Commander is also the deus ex machina of Will Randall's immensely likeable travel book.
While Rock War: The Audition does have its problems, it's still a likeable, enjoyable little book that's an excellent precursor to the thicker instalment, Rock War.
We often ask ourselves: "What are the secrets of the successful business?" According to Dave Kerpen's new book, Likeable Business: Why Today's Consumers Demand More & How Leaders Can Deliver, the secret is to be likable.
In the follow up to his first book, Likeable Social Media (which I also highly recommend), Kerpen takes these principles a step further, arguing that in order for businesses to be successful today, they must truly become social, employee and customer-centric organizations.
In his book, Likeable Business: Why Today's Consumers Demand More and How Leaders Can Deliver, he outlines 11 principles that will help businesses not only to stand out from their competition, but also create a culture that will foster positive relationships with customers and boost profits overall.
He adds that while Livingstone emerges from the book not very likeable, "set his faults against those of his persecutors in the media and they begin to look quite trivial".
The reason I love this book is how likeable and relatable the characters all are and the little fan fiction chapters throughout which are kind of based on the Harry Potter series.
You can read more strategies and insight for creating a likeable business in Kerpen's book, Likeable Business, available on Amazon.com.
