Learning doesn’t stop once you’ve become a leader.
That’s why my Saturday blog post is a wrapup of things the ResourcefulManager team has been reading.
So what books have been my favorites this summer?
Here’s my Top 5 Summer Hit-List. And the great news, I’m also going to give you a chance to win them for your own collection.
My Top 5 Summer Reading List
Kevin Kruse’s “15 Secrets Successful People Know About Time Management”
Kevin’s a N.Y. Times Best-selling author and Forbes columnist. “15 Secrets” shares the secrets of ultra-productive people. And it’s terrific. It’s based on research and interviews with billionaires, Olympic athletes, straight-A students, and over 200 entrepreneurs that will allow you to master the techniques of extreme productivity.
Michael Bungay Stanier’s “The Coaching Habit”
Michael’s a best-selling author and senior partner of Box of Crayons. “The Coaching Habit” gives you a step-by-step method to turn your coaching into a 10-minute daily routine that will make you and your employees more efficient and productive.
Stanier’s “Do More Great Work”
OK, I read two books by Michael. “Do More Great Work” is a bit older but has sold 90,000 copies. It teaches you how to stop the busywork, and start doing the work that matters.
Mike Figliuolo’s “Lead Inside The Box”
Mike Figliuolo and Victor Prince wrote this one. You may have already realized that the one-size-fits-all leadership approach doesn’t work. This book shows you a way to get the best out of your teams by focusing their energy where it will make the biggest difference. Mike is managing director of thoughtLEADERS, LLC and Victor is a leadership consultant.
Adrian Swinscoe’s “How To Wow”
Adrian is a customer service guru and columnist for Forbes.com. And this fantastic book gives you 68 practical tips, inspiring insights and interviews with a wide range of leaders and entrepreneurs that will show you how to stand out from your competitors.
Remember that I said I was going to give you a chance to get these? Well, here’s all you need to do.
