A Feast of Management Ideas for the New Year
It
wouldn’t be December without a “best of” list frenzy.
It
certainly was for me. As I started this exercise of picking my
favorite s+bblog
posts from 2014, I found lessons for leaders, marketers, and
innovators; analysis of the trends that shape how we live and work;
introductions to new research and books that ought to be on
everyone’s radar; and more. It’s a wealth of insight and
information, and the posts below (in no particular order) are just
some of the standouts. I hope you’ll find this list useful as you
prepare to welcome 2015: Consider it a taste of what our blog has to
offer.
