Once again, I read some fantastic non-fiction books this year that I can highly recommend.
Radical Candor – Kim Scott – This is the best management book I’ve ever read. It’s not a formula or set of tips, this is a way to think about team building and growing a team of leaders. How to be authentic in feedback and coach your team. It’s definitely stretching me and challenging me.
Braving the Wilderness – Brene Brown – Wow, just wow. How did I not know about Brene Brown until now? Her research is incredible and she delivers it with such heart. This book is about belonging and what a strong hold this has on us. As leaders or pioneers you often don’t feel like you belong. You’re off in the wilderness trying to make your way alone, which is scary.
The Five Dysfunctions of a Team – Patrick Lencioni – An easy read and came at a perfect time when I was trying to unravel some of the issues I inherited with a team. Easy to understand. A little harder to implement, but all the good stuff is.
Field Guide to Lies (or Weaponized Lies) – Daniel Levitin – I think I’ve recommended this book to everyone I’ve met this year. This book breaks down how statistics can be used to lie and mislead. It also takes you through how fake news becomes accepted. The guidebook for the post-truth era.
Option B – Sheryl Sandberg & Adam Grant – This is a book that people should read and then keep on their shelf because everyone is going to hit a moment when they need to read it again. A gentle guide through the horrors of life-changing moments, Grant brings the research and Sandberg brings the heart.
