One of my goals in reading this year was to force myself to read a business/organization/leadership type book. Having a B.A. in history and an M.Div means among other things that I have absolutely no business administration acumen. This is definitely an area where I need to grow, especially if I want to be a tent-making missionary in the future.
The author, Scott Belsky, is the founder of Behance, a company that seeks to find and foster creative ideas and transform them into real completed projects. He writes in a style accessible to people like me that hate books like this but need to read them.
The basic premise is that making ideas happen doesn't require genious. It requires hard work and determination. Did I already know that? Yes. Where Belsky helps is by giving some bit-sized, realistic ways in which to keep that hard work on track and efficient while not suffocating creativity. I have already tried some of these suggestions in my work place as well as with my own personal projects and with some tweaking have been greatly helped.
I recommend this book to you if you are seeking to improve your organizational skills, business management, or have just been sitting on that great idea for years but don't know how to get the ball rolling.
