Summer reading lists abound with informative professional recommendations, but my attention in June and July tends to turn to good, old fashioned sagas (Saints for All Occasions), psychological thrillers (The Other Wife), and memoirs (Educated). So I like the Fall reading list for getting back to work -- and there are a few things grabbing my attention now that are worthy of your nightstands. What I love about all four books is that they offer real insight into learning -- and the lessons can be applied to how organizations and individuals can lead and perform well -- by learning! For educators, many of the insights will inspire and inform your teaching practice - particularly Newport’s and Hoogterp’s books.
Deep Work and So Good They Can’t Ignore You by Cal Newport
Your Perfect Presentation By Bill Hoogterp
Strategy That Works by Paul Leinwand and Cesare Mainardi
Engine of Impact by William Meehan and Kim Starkey Jonker
Enjoy!
