Episode Synopsis

Episode 0.5: Welcome to SYLLABUST!
What does required reading really mean in 2021? Does anyone even have time to crack a book, let alone talk about it?
We're digging into all of that, and a whole lot more.
Welcome to SYLLABUST, a business book podcast that discusses and challenges "required reading" for management and strategy. In each episode, we review the most recommended texts for business leaders, and test what's relevant and valuable for the challenges we face in today's changing work landscape.
We're kicking things off with a brief episode to introduce ourselves and this project, and announce our first book THE TIPPING POINT, by Malcolm Gladwell.
