Pam, I cracked the binding on both books this weekend and have a first impression that Trusted Advisor is a much more valuable read. Before I conclude my thoughts on Trust Agents I really want to read it more carefully — but I’m getting the sense that it could have used a bit more focus on articulating the message. It appears to be a book on how to be a social media personality like Brogan, Scoble, and Vaynerchuk — and yes, we do trust these guys for their knowledge and insight. But “trust” is not the first word that comes to mind with these guys. I’m just about a 1/3rd of the way through, so I’m holding on before I conclude. Don’t get me wrong, I respect the achievements these guys have made. I hope the book proves to add more insight on the words “Trust” and “Agent”. My first impression of The Trusted Advisor is that it’s more interesting because it is teaching me things I need to know in order to be better at what I like to do. And it covers the topic of “Trust” and “Advisor”. Again, I did not yet read it cover to cover. Full reviews should be blogged at a later date, but I appreciate your comment.
