 <title>Does A Leader Need to Author a Book?</title>
 <link>http://www.fastcompany.com/blog/corey-blake/creative-leadership-building-business-art/does-leader-need-author-book</link>
 <description>&lt;div class=&quot;storycontent&quot;&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You do not&lt;br /&gt;
have to have a book, but you do have to have a remarkable product to&lt;br /&gt;
introduce your business to your customers on a massive scale.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; I believe that with so much information available in the world today, you have to do &lt;strong&gt;TWO&lt;/strong&gt; things.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Beating the Competition</title>
 <link>http://www.fastcompany.com/blog/jeff-lee/measurable-business-solutions/beating-competition</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;One of the first steps is knowing how to play the game.  A lot of you can do the physical therapy hat very well – you’ve gone to college, invested money and time on being expert on getting that hat completely on.  Now that you are private practice owners and not just physical therapists, you also have a multitude of hats in your business, some of you have so many hats that you wear that they are stacked up to the ceiling.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>The Transfer of Power -- Giving Permission to Lead</title>
 <link>http://www.fastcompany.com/blog/corey-blake/book-writing-professional-pioneer/transfer-power-giving-permission-lead</link>
 <description>&lt;div class=&quot;storycontent&quot;&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I happen to be heavily involved in a&lt;br /&gt;
book about followership as it pertains to leadership and one of the&lt;br /&gt;
principles we’ve been discussing lately is that those in the&lt;br /&gt;

leader when necessary. This line of thinking spurred an exceptional&lt;br /&gt;
vision call that I had with our team last Friday that centered around&lt;br /&gt;
them challenging me more. Often times I have felt like my team is&lt;br /&gt;
reluctant to challenge me because I am the boss, because I sign the&lt;/p&gt;
