Just One More Insight

I tried to resist the urge to add one more list to the flood of 2011 reviews and 2012 predictions that fill our inbox…but these books, blogs, or articles really spoke to me this year so I hope this short list will offer you a few resources and a fresh perspective as you start new year:

1. Walter Isaacson’s book about Apple co-founder, chairman and CEO Steve Jobs.
2. The insights offered by Jeffry Pilcher at The Financial Brand.
3. Inc.’s Top 5 Most Common Networking Mistakes article by Jeff Haden.
4. Ron Shevlin’s Snarketing 2.0.
5. Any one of Chris Brogan’s posts on Entrepreneur.

Of course there is so much more I’d like to share…but these were some of my top sources for inspiration in 2011.  

One final insight: shifts and changes will continue to be fast-paced and far-reaching in 2012.  How we chose to respond to those shifts and changes will be the greatest factor in determining whether or not the new year turns out well.  Our team will do our best to help you navigate change and position your institution for growth.  Here’s to a happy, healthy and prosperous 2012.

P.S.  By the way…just wait until you see Joe Sullivan’s new initiative: Purpose, Passion and Profits.
