Three People, Three Questions
Thursday, September 1, 2011
What are you reading?
I’ve got three books going right now. I’m reading Awaken, Align, Accelerate: A Guide to Great Leadership by MDA Consulting. I’m just about finished with Quiet Strength by Tony Dungy and I just started an Agatha Christie mystery, Sleeping Murder.
Your favorite website?
No single favorite. I have a rather eclectic group of Internet sites I visit regularly. I usually start the day by looking at the local paper online. I then check out the business world by going to the Wall Street Journal. Finally, it is my duty to keep up with foot fashion, so I make a quick daily stop at Zappos.
Your dream job?
My dream job would be a chocolate dessert tester in France.
What are you reading?
Rethinking the MBA by Datar, Garvin, and Cullen provides empirically based advice to help MBA programs stay relevant and effective.
Your favorite website?
I am into GTD (Getting Things Done) as promoted by David Allen (www.davidco.com).
Your dream job?
I’m enjoying my new role as the associate dean for MBA Programs so far…but I’ve only had the job for a few months.
What are you reading?
Right now I’m reading A Dance with Dragons by George R.R. Martin. It took a long time for him to finish the book, but it’s definitely been worth the wait.
Your favorite website?
The New York Times. I think I check it about 10 times a day.
Your dream job?
I’d have to say any job working with bicycles – marketing, manufacturing, anything. I love to ride my bike and the extensive trails in and around the Twin Cities are one of its best features.
