Snippet: "The Church and Barnes & Noble"
Snip·pet | ˈsnipit | noun a small piece or brief extract.
Here’s one from “Lesson for the Church from the Barnes & Noble Turnaround” by Trevin Wax:
“At what point is the central purpose of the church lost, edged out by crowd-pleasing trinkets, just as Barnes & Noble had become, in the words of their CEO, ‘crucifyingly boring,’ having lost confidence in the primary reason for its existence?”
Wax’s post is a commentary on an article analyzing the surprising comeback of Barnes & Noble under its new CEO.
The article highlights his secret weapon: loving books (and hiring people who love books).
Imagine that!
