Travel and Expense
Spend Management Thought Leader at Booz Allen Hamilton Shares Top Read for 2022
Our 2022 top book and podcast recommendations from thought leaders across the travel and expense (T&E) industry is now available! Tori Simpson, Senior Manager, Financial Operations – Accounts Payable, Booz Allen Hamilton, shares why she recommended The Slight Edge by Jeff Olson:
Q: Why did you recommend this book as a top read?
A: From this read, I discovered our actions are always working for or against us: There is really no in between. For example, it’s just as easy to watch tv as it is to read a book. One will bring you up while the other will carry you down. And with the compound effect in play, your wins compound just as your losses compound so stack the small wins in your favor. Let the compound effect skyrocket you to new heights!
Q: How do you think your colleagues in the T&E industry could benefit from the advice in this book?
A: With all of the change our team faced due to the Pandemic and from the implementation of our new systems (a new instance of Concur, a new accounting system and a new front end system), everyone had to think very creatively and positively over these past couple of years and remain as flexible and adaptable as possible. Being able to focus on actions that took all this change into consideration helped me see the small wins which has really helped me along the way in leading the team.
