Question: What book have you read this year that has helped you professionally?
Richard Kube, MD, Founder, CEO, Prairie Spine & Pain Institute, Peoria, Ill.: How to Drive Your Competition Crazy by Guy Kawasaki. Great book for anyone building a business, especially if you want that business to grow rapidly and be disruptive in the marketplace. Great foundational principles for sales and management teams in that book.
