The Modern Leader
If you know me, you know I love to read. I'm usually sitting around 100 books a year - mostly fiction (I love a good romance) but I read quite a bit of nonfiction as well.
If you set a goal for yourself to read more in 2025 or you're just looking for some new book ideas, here are 3 nonfiction books at the top of my TBR (to be read) list:
In a world where we all have a short attention span and can't sit still for even 2 minutes without grabbing our phones, Johann Hari has some thoughts. Stolen Focus helps us better understand how we go to this point and what we can do about it both individually and as a society to reclaim our focus.
Playing to Win by A.G. Lafley and Roger L. Martin
I'm a big strategy nerd. If you're in a leadership position or want to move into one, Playing to Win will help you formulate your thoughts to build a winning strategy. An excellent choice if you're newer to thinking about the business context of a problem.
Crucial Influence by Joseph Grenny, Kerry Patterson, David Maxfield, Ron McMillan, and Al Switzer
If you've been following my content for a while, you'll know I love Crucial Conversations, but Crucial Influence is new to me. Behavior change that sticks comes from influence, and as I teach in my course, influence is everything in building a lasting and effective career.
