The power of individual strength on an exceptional team.

Kimberly Rath, Talent Plus Co-Founder and President, is featured amongst fellow entrepreneurs who share their favorite business book. The blog, “21 Entrepreneurs List Their Favorite Books to Help Inspire Others,” provides a great list of inspirational business books for young entrepreneurs.

“My number one business book is ‘Managing to Make a Difference’ written by two of my colleagues, Larry Sternberg and Kim Turnage. This book is based solid research as well as decades of management experience. It is intended to be handbook for middle managers and offers a roadmap to engagement, talent development and excellence in management. I gain a great deal of insight from Larry and Kim and the real-life stories they share. The techniques they offer in their book will help middle managers achieve organizational goals and will empower their employees to achieve their own. I’m particularly excited that I’ve been hearing from people with whom I’ve shared the book, and they’ve remarked at how they are putting the techniques to work in their approach with their team members.” – Kimberly Rath
