 Blink
By Malcolm Gladwell This is a book about how we think without thinking, about choices that seem to be made in an instant - in the blink of an eye - that actually aren't as simple as they seem. Why are some people brilliant decision makers while others seem consistently inept. Why do some follow their instincts and win and others end up stumbling into error? Why are the best decisions often the ones most difficult to explain? Blink changes the way you understand every decision you make. Speak of impact! Why we like it: This is truly a thought provoking work. Can making the tough decisions required of leaders really be easier than they seem. This book says and demonstrates a resounding YES!

 Presence
By Peter Senge, C. Otto Scharmer, Joseph Jaworski, Betty Sue Flowers The authors explore the nature of transformational change - how it arises and the fresh possibilities if offers. Too often, they found, we remain stuck in old patterns of seeing and acting. By encouraging deeper levels of learning we create an awareness of the larger whole, leading to actions that can help to shape its evolution and our future. This original work defines the capabilities that underlie our ability to see, sense and realize new possibilities - in ourselves, in our institutions and organizations and in society itself. Why we like it: The possibilities are tremendously exciting once we can master the ability to let go of the past, be present in the here and now and let come the possibilities. Thought provoking and exciting. Click here to buy |
