This is a great book if you are ready to make some changes in your life. It gives you a good look into why you may be accepting some of the misinformed myths as truth. It gives great scriptural references as to how to change your life and how to go forward. It is a wonderful book to do in a group setting.

Are You Ready?
A Book Review by M. Joyce McMenamin

Get ready to do more than simply think outside of the box. In today's world the concept of 'ready thinking' isn't about a one time event - it's about changing the way you lead, initiate change and bottom line a profit. In essence, in order to prosper in the coming months and years, everybody within an organization of any size, will need to change the way they think and listen, in addition to the way they approach change entirely.

I had the distinct pleasure of receiving this book for review about a month prior to its release on August 28, 2008. I also had the honor of interviewing John Baker for our radio show the week that the book hit the shelves. I wanted to talk to the man who had written a book that mirrored everything I had ever believed about change management. I was in good company. John and I obviously thought alike, because we had each spent more than twenty-five years managing change, inside the big boxes of the Fortune few.

It's ironic that nearly everyday, I speak with somebody in a management or leadership role who asks me what the best methods are for initiating change within an organization. Even many change management experts and organizational development professionals continually ask the question:  "When is the best time to initiate change?".

John and I agree:  there is no 'best' time to initiate or manage change. Change is less of a process than it is a way of life. When change becomes part of the fiber of a corporate tapestry, woven deeply into the cultural thread, the concept of 'change' no longer exists in the forefront of the minds that would naturally resist it.

READY THINKING is more than an entertaining short read on the topic of change management. It shares a timely wisdom with managers who are looking for answers. Here they will find short, concise and very powerful modules that they can begin applying to 'real life' immediately. In fact, it became clear to me that this was a book that any manager could take into a weekly meeting and use in their own staff and team development. It is a book that easily moves from idea to action, as it transcends mere theory and metric models to provide an experiential journey into the process of being ready for what happens tomorrow.

Are you primed for change?  Are you ready?

At 19 pages, this is a bit short for the money. However, I got it with free with kindle unlimited. The premise of the book is that people can change things, but need to know how to go about it. Real change is going to take time, and plan regarding the long term effects. The author gives some great examples of this. We live in a "need it now" immediate society. Gone are the days of waiting for a newspaper or the 11pm news... everything is instant. We need to change out thinking to wrap our heads around deciding if the instant thing should take priority over a larger and more important long term thing.  Not a bad read.

A Whole New Mind, by Daniel Pink, was a great look at the way business will be done in the near future. I recently spoke with a business owner who was concerned that a person they just interviewed did not want to work 40 hours a week inside his office. I challenged him to think of ways that this person could maybe work out of their home and maybe take on a few accounts at a time, instead of working for 1 hour a day on all of his accounts.  This is the future of our workforce.  People are not interested in sitting in cubical's and picturing themselves in a Dilbert Cartoon anymore.  It is the creative right-brain world that we are after now, these are the new managers and salesforce that the big boys are going after- the rest of us need to adjust now too!

The more open your mind is, the more you'll enjoy this book. It preaches a different way of working and living and cites great examples of people who have walked the talk. (Personally, I don't have the courage to pack up and head for Iowa, but I admire people who do.)

 Even if you do remain in New York or Silicon Valley, Rich's book will make you think about what really matters. (How many books can you say that about?) So read it and leap...to a better life. As we used to say at Apple, "There must be a better way." Here's a book that can help you figure out the way.

 Full diclosure: like Andy Kessler, I too am a friend of Rich Karlgaard. But so what?

This book really got me thinking. I've been a little closed minded in many ways. I want to tear the walls down. It's time to remodel.

It is now time for the discussion to change from are our urban schools doing a good job to how to best implement this new system of urban education. That is to say, the time for talk is over, it is now time to take what we know, and put it to use. No more discussion required. The plan is here and waiting.

This is a book that should be read before it is "needed". Take time to reflect on the author's comments and insights.
