<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ichak Adizes | Managing Corporate Lifecycles | Book Review by Lisa Woodruff CEO of Organize 365</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On Mondays, I will be posting a podcast recording of previously recorded book reviews. These are books that have impacted me that I want to share with you.</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">In September, I review the books that helped me to build the Dream Team I have today. Business leadership and team building are one of my favorite parts of being a CEO. I also share how I found and use a highly skilled executive assistant to improve my own productivity. I share about how I have searched for and added team members, how we delegate, and how we are navigating the different stages of building a business.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This week, my book review is of</span> <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MZGUKOC?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creativeASIN=B01MZGUKOC&linkCode=xm2&tag=warrmama-20"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Managing Corporate Lifecycles</span></a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">by Ichak Adizes. This is a two volume series. I would recommend these for a business of 10 or more employees that are looking for deeper information on growth. These books go through different life cycles and stages of a business, and help the owners to see and prevent the problems that will cause the business to die. This book also helped me to understand how I needed to grow for the business to succeed. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">These are heavy complicated books that are somewhat expensive and highly specialized, so I would not recommend them for everyone. Despite that, I found these very helpful in identifying some of my own mistakes and missteps so I wanted to share them in case they are helpful for you.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You can also watch this as a video review on</span> <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTS8ylBwQgU"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">YouTube</spa
