If you’re like a lot of leaders I know, you’re constantly looking for ideas to make your next town hall feel more exciting and inspiring for employees. And that’s a good instinct. The truth is that many companies are long overdue for a town hall makeover.

Starting to think about what book(s) to read over the holidays? The senior thought partners here at The Grossman Group and I shared a few of our favorite books on leadership, communication, personal development, business or just an all-around good book that resonated with us. Find out what some of us have been reading (in alphabetical order under each category) and our thoughts on each one.

It's that time of year again – the holidays are fast approaching and as many of you know, the season kicks off with my favorite holiday: Thanksgiving. People often wonder why Thanksgiving gets me in the holiday spirit and I’m always excited to share with them why....Because it’s the season for Grandma Elsie’s Famous Pumpkin Chiffon Pie and other crowd-favorite recipes. 

One of the most popular questions I get in my work as a communications leader is this: What’s new in communications strategy today? Or, some variation of this: What must I do today to help my company achieve world-class, cutting-edge communications in the future? 

Trust Everywhere is Eroding 

Several recent surveys show a serious decline in the trust key stakeholders have in organizations. Earlier this year, a major annual study underscored the scope of the problem, revealing the largest-ever drop in trust among the general population. 

With the holiday season upon us, why not give the gift of leadership and communications tips to a colleague, friend or your team?

From now until January 1, 2018, my books, No Cape Needed: The Simplest, Smartest, Fastest Steps to Improve How You Communicate by Leaps and Bounds, along with You Can’t Not Communicate: Proven Communication Solutions that Power the Fortune 100, and its follow-up, You Can’t Not Communicate 2, are on sale for $12.59 each – a 30% discount.
