One thing I've learned in management is keeping up with change. Change means learning and reading. I talked about learning in an earlier blog referencing the never stop learning in your career/on the job synopsis. And I covered areas such as having Google and Wikipedia by your side. This article talks about reading material.
With such an array of things to read one thing I've taken interest toward is downloads from Trader.com. They constantly are offering white papers, articles and even book orderings on their site. And the best thing are they're free. Well the white papers and articles are and as for as the books you can usually download them as a summary. Here's a few good one's I've come across and are good reads and once you download them you have them on file for future use. If you're like me these items are like gold. You can reference them and keep up with many areas of business from recognized authors and even some that aren't publicly recognized but have managed to get published. Oh yes the articles are:
"Customer Relationship Management: Secrets to CRM Success", from Microsoft Corporation.
"PCI Compliance for Dummies", from Qualys, Inc.
"Integrated Business Planning: Redesigning Planning for a More Dynamic Business Environment", from Infor.
"Hosted CRM Comparison Guide", from Tippit, Inc..
These are just a few I've come across. Now you might not be involved in particular subjects, but it makes great reading material and let's face it if you have something to offer during a meeting or a conference that you might have learned from a simple download, wasn't it worth the few minutes of effort?
Remember it's like all the meetings and training you've ever attended. If you've walked away with one thing that you've learned, it was worth the investment!
Sometimes it's worth being a Trader :)
