Executives who attempt to solve new problems using outdated methods frequently fail. According to Ryan Raffaelli, Marvin Bower Associate Professor at HBS, the finest leaders adjust their "action orientation" to meet the issue at hand. https://t.co/4pPHfeqBtA

Today’s @BostonGlobe highlights how lucky we are to live in a city with so many NEW bookstores! Thank you, @DanaGerber6 for including my research (with Ryann Noe) on indie bookstores & #technology_reemergence in your article.

[Dana Gerber @DanaGerber6]

If you're anything like me, you love getting lost in the stacks of an indie bookstore. And in Boston, bibliophiles have any number of new spots to choose from.

Read my latest, on the forces behind Boston's bookstore boom. 📚

A bookseller once told me, “If indie bookstores are churches, libraries are cathedrals!”

A homecoming, book signing event, and celebration for @thrasherxy and his award-winning book “The Viral Underclass.” Congratulations my friend!

Meant the world to me to be in conversation with my BFF @ryanlraffaelli at @BNVenturaCA. We made it, brother! (Masked event, came off just for the photo.)

[Ryan Raffaelli @ryanlraffaelli]

Fact: the # of independent bookstores has increased by over 60% since 2009. This @HarvardHBS #ColdCall podcast explains how indies may hold a key to reinventing retail. Thanks to Kwame for the great case!

[Harvard Business School @HarvardHBS]

In 2020, Kwame Spearman (#HBS2011) left his NYC consulting job to run @TatteredCover in his hometown Denver.

In the latest #ColdCall, @ryanlraffaelli joins Kwame to discuss reinventing the independent #bookstore and finding a way to meet new challenges: https://t.co/X1eHwOTFLe

Compared to other sectors, indie booksellers have benefitted from having spent years educating their core customers about the detrimental impact Amazon has on local business. A dedicated consumer base has rushed in to help https://t.co/6sM3ikk5wF via @cmswire

How it started, how it’s going:

Left, May 11, 2019: @ryanlraffaelli came to my PhD defense and we went to @strandbookstore the next day & Ryan took a pic saying “the next time we are here it will be for your book.”

Right, August 2, 2022: Ryan took this pic in the same spot.

[Ryan Raffaelli @ryanlraffaelli]

A must-read book, for both organizational leaders and management scholars!

Paradoxes are interdependent, persistent contradictions that lurk within our presenting dilemmas. Diving into a dilemma, exploring the options at a deeper level, we find opposing forces interlocked in a circular ebb and flow. https://t.co/ORvL1GYEuA
