I came in this morning to find a copy of Malcolm Gladwell's Outliers waiting for me on my desk. Besides the usual reasons to love new books (they're pretty, create more jobs in forestry, can be used to prop up computer screens), this new book gives me a sense of expectation.
Gladwell's work has always inspired in me the importance of nuance and good strategy. Good gifts. There are underlying patterns to a lot of the weird stuff that happens in business. And you can exploit them. Giddy up. For those who have never read him, I highly recommend both of his other books - The Tipping Point and Blink.
I'll post something a touch more thoughtful in the next week or two. I hope to find time to put this little number down in a hurry.
