3 BOOKS TO READ THIS SPRING
Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead A continuation of her famed TED talk providing a blueprint for individual growth that will empower women, Sheryl Sandberg describes how women unintentionally hold themselves back in their careers. Sandberg provides practical advice on negotiation techniques, mentorship, and building satisfying careers. Start With Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action Start With Why asks (and answers) the questions: why are some people and organizations more innovative, more influential, and more profitable than others? Why do some command greater loyalty from customers and employees alike? Even among the successful, why are so few able to repeat their success over and over? Simon Sinek calls this powerful idea The Golden Circle, and it provides a framework upon which organizations can be built, movements can be led, and people can be inspired. And it all starts with WHY. Dare to Lead: Brave Work. Tough Conversations. Whole Hearts. How do you cultivate braver, more daring leaders, and how do you embed the value of courage in your culture? In this new book, Brené Brown uses research, stories, and examples to answer these questions in the no-BSstyle that millions of readers have come to expect and love. Brown writes, “One of the most important findings of my career is that daring leadership is a collection of four skill sets that are 100 percent teachable, observable, and measurable. It’s learning and unlearning that requires brave work, tough conversations, and showing up with your whole heart. Easy? No. Because choosing courage over comfort is not always our default. Worth it? Always. We want to be brave with our lives and our work. It’s why we’re here.” |
