FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Green Bay, Wis.- (March 7, 2007) – The Green Bay Area Chamber of Commerce and Current Young Professionals would like to remind you that there is still time to read the next Read to Lead book, "Less Is More: How Great Companies Use Productivity" by
Jason Jennings. David Yeghiaian of Unique Business Solutions will lead discussion. The event will take place on Monday, March 26, 2007 at St. Brendan’s Inn, 234 S. Washington St. from 5:30 p.m. until 7:00 p.m.
From the Library Journal on "Less is More": Jennings, author of the popular "It's Not the Big That Eat the Small: It's the Fast That Eat the Slow" and founder of the media consultancy firm Jennings-McGlothin & Co., has undertaken to teach companies how to increase their productivity. He draws upon the experiences of successful programs for enhancing productivity and explains how businesses can emulate these programs to improve their own profitability. Jennings’s research team investigated thousands of companies, and those selected were scrupulously examined to weed out overexposed companies or potential Enrons. Each research-based chapter highlights what is special about these companies – whether it be vision, commitment, communication, customer relations, efficiency, or organizational culture. The book is readable and entertaining as well as informative, and the current economic climate is sure to make it a welcome addition to the popular management literature.

The April 30, 2007 Read to Lead Book is "Leadership & The New Science" by Margaret J. Wheatley.
