There's two books that I've been wanting to see written.
1. A book on travel dedicated to business travelers, which would include:
- foldout maps of all areas of the city that you can actually use
- transport schedules and tips on getting around for business
- lists of places to work from (remote offices, coffee shops with wifi, hotels)
- best places for breakfast, dinner, lunch and client meetings
- airport information, including which airports have meeting facilities and nearby hotels
- travel planning checklists for business travelers
- lists of some of the major fortune 500 companies in the city
- numbers for car services, cabs, shuttles, etc
- most popular conference facilities and the best way to get to each
- hotels/locations with commonly needed business amenities, like Kinkos, dry cleaning and the like
- WHAT ELSE? Comment on what you'd like to see in the ideal business traveler book series
2. Collection of the simplest forms, techniques and guidelines for solving business problems. Something like a "survival guide to business".
I'm currently involved in a leadership training course as part of the neighborhood association with a brilliant instructor who's a former professor turned consultant. He has these great one-page handouts on everything from communication to problem solving to public speaker.
I would love to have a book of lists & tactics that are all summed up in one page. I envision something like the "little black book of business tactic summaries" or something.
Anyone know where/if something like this exists?
