Business Book Award entries steadily arrive
Book Review by Porchlight
With the first deadline to 800-CEO-READ's 2007 Business Book Awards quickly approaching, we have been receiving a number of books from authors and publishers to be entered into the running of determining the best of the year. The range of titles so far is wide. From Bill Clinton's Giving to Sam Intrator and Megan Scribner's Leading From Within: Poetry That Sustains the Courage to Lead, there is already a clear indication that these awards will have the opportunity to review and distinguish both well-known and non-conventional titles within the publishing industry.

Book Review by Porchlight
There's a new excerpt up over on the Excerpts Blog. It's taken from Recruit or Die: How Any Business Can Beat the Big Guys in the War for Young Talent by Chris Resto, Ian Ybarra and Ramit Sethi. More than money and perks, the authors say, fresh-out-of-school candidates are looking for opportunities to stand out, move around quickly, and build up a strong resume of experiences and achievements.

Whatever your level of enthusiasm, the core of the day's mission is admirable -- that of showing appreciation.
