We include Michelle R. Donovan because the associated Reading Room title gives owners a useful way to think about real operating decisions. The value is not biography; it is what the work helps a business do more clearly this quarter.

The 29% Solution

With Ivan Misner, Michelle R. Donovan

Fifty-two structured networking habits, one per week. Boring on the surface, useful in practice — most independent businesses live or die by executing this kind of work consistently.

How to Use These Ideas in a Business

Read the related title with one current problem in mind: cash flow, delegation, hiring, pipeline, customer process, client communication, risk transfer, leadership conflict, or positioning. Then turn one idea into a written operating rule with an owner, metric, and review date.
