Read a different kind of book this week. Business strategy.

Blue Ocean Strategy: How to Create Uncontested Market Space and Make the Competition Irrelevant
by W. Chan Kim and Renee Mauborgne

Fascinating study of 150 strategic moves in 30 industries over 100 years. Contends that leading companies will succeed not by battling competitors but by creating "blue oceans" of uncontested market space ripe for growth.

Great accounts of successes in unusual companies like Cirque du Soleil, [yellowtail] wines, NABI, and even the New York Police Department.

Shows specific steps for how to create a unique marketplace for your idea, product, or service.

And best of all, gives concrete, real life wisdom on how to bring change in your organization to step out in risk to do something new rather than just continuing on as is. Chapters 7 and 8 alone are worth buying the book for this practical wisdom for leaders on executing strategy, ushering in change in an organization, and overcoming hurdles in any organization. Very sage stuff.

An excellent read for any leader in any setting.

Description
The Allen Hunt Show is about faith and life, plain and simple. According to a Gallup Poll in May of 2005, 85% of Americans consider their faith important or fairly important to their lives. Yet there is a gap on the talk radio airwaves that examines where faith and life come together. This show fills that gap like nothing currently on the radio. This is not one more political talk show, nor is it another faith-based counseling show because ultimately, life is not about what is right or left, but about what is right and wrong. The Allen Hunt Show takes on real life issues, with real life people, to see how faith can have a real impact. Join us on Saturdays from 9-12 PM and Sundays from 6-9 PM. Blessings!
