The Wild Librarian

"You see, I don't believe that libraries should be drab places where people sit in silence, and that's been the main reason for our policy of employing wild animals as librarians." --Gorilla Librarian sketch, Monty Python's Flying Circus TV Show, Episode 10

Book of the Week: You're Hired How to Succeed in Business and Life By: Bill Rancic

Bill Rancic was the first to win on the reality TV show The Apprentice, in which Donald Trump (who provides a foreword) slowly eliminates potential personal assistants until one is left standing. Throughout this book Bill Rancic covers the strategy he used to win. He never went to business school and he credits part of his success in The Apprentice on his ability to rely on his observations and common sense and the close relationships he built. He shares advice gleaned from family members or co-collaborators along with insight gained from reading of how-tos.

I was hoping for a little more, I was seeking more on management and leadership and this clearly is not the book for that. If you followed the television program you may enjoy this book more than I did. I didn't have much interest in the program which may have negatively influenced my opinion of this book.
