Some might say it’s a publisher’s dream. Others might suggest it’s a technique that is overused. When it comes to an author’s use of acronyms to help illustrate their methods, I am an absolute fan.
In the book featured on the podcast today, there are no fewer than four (maybe even five) acronyms used to describe the author’s ideas. And in my view, every single one is a winner.
Why? Because they help make the concepts stick. And if they stick, then it means we’re much more likely to put them into practice.
And isn’t that the point of reading a book in the first place?
My guest today is Patrick Veroneau, and he’s written a book called The Leadership Bridge: How to Engage Your Employees and Drive Organizational Excellence.
Patrick believes that leaders who align their leadership behaviors to satisfy the needs of their employees will build cultures that are both engaging and profitable.
