Fortune Magazine, Barrons and More!
Our latest magazines and serials have arrived this week and there are so many interesting articles to read. While I know everyone is heads-down on finishing this semester, I recommend taking a break and scan some of the latest business news. Fortune (April 9th issue) focuses on the 12 greatest entrepreneurs of our time and what we can learn from them - do you know who they are? Of course, we all think of Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg but some others are just as interesting such as Sam Walton and Herb Kelleher.
Barrons (March 26th) highlights the "World's Best CEOs" with twelve of new entrants to this year's list.
Business Alabama (April) provides an overview of Alabama's highest paid women executives. Some of the company names may be new to you but worth checking out Alabama companies if your business career goal is to remain in Alabama. Also, these female executives provide insight to their success as well as their vision that got them to the top spots.
We are now taking Gulf Coast Business published by the Mobile Press Register. Local business news as well as topics such as social media, local real estate market and spotlight on local businesses makes this a must-read about our area.
Finally, Bloomberg Business Week (April 2nd) has a cover story on Steve Jobs and his views on Google Android but don't overlook an interview with the CEO of Yum Brands (KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, etc) and his views on expanding globally. Mr. Novak has also published a book I just purchased for our library on leadership titled "Taking People with You".
Come review our stacks as our book collection is growing weekly and our magazine/newspaper rack always up to date!

Harvard Business Review - Steve Jobs Leadership Lessons
One of the more popular books in the library has been the recent book by Walter Isaacson on Steve Jobs. However, as we move toward the end of the spring semester assignments and the dreaded final exams most of you may not feel you have time to read the book.
If so, take a break from your studies and come review the latest Harvard Business Review in the library as Mr. Isaacson recaps the fourteen leadership lessons we can all learn from Steve Jobs. We all have heard the 'stay hungry, stay foolish' but one that caught my attention was 'when behind, leapfrog' and how he transformed the music industry with an integrated system of iTunes and the iPod when he felt he had missed the music downloading phenomena. He didn't rest on his laurels once he launched this integrated solution, however, as he realized that soon the mobile phone manufacturers would start adding music players to their handsets. So, he cannibalized the iPod sales and created the iPhone.
His lesson to us is 'if you don't cannibalized yourselves, someone else will'. Indeed, Mr. Jobs.
