I have read several blogs lately on a variety of topics such as:
- Trust
- Credibility
- Likeability
- Collaboration
All had the same familiar theme… in order to “up” the ante for you, you must up the ante for others. One of the blogs was a book review of “Enchantment,” by Guy Kawasaki. Kawasaki says there are two types of people in the world:
- Bakers
- Eaters
He says, “Eaters think zero-sum. They want the biggest slice of any pie. The bakers don’t see the world as zero-sum game. They want to make more and bigger pies. And bakers are more enchanting than eaters.”
Can’t wait to read the book!
