What I'm reading, writing, and thinking about.
From the Goodreads summary:
A guide to business leadership based on the strategies of Abraham Lincoln focuses on the President’s most difficult decisions during the Civil War, offering lessons based on his experiences for today’s businessperson.
This has been a quick little read so far, with many interesting anecdotes and lessons on leadership from the life of the 16th president of the United States.
Since Good Strategy Bad Strategy was so good, I decided to check out The Crux. It is even better. Rumelt brings an unparalleled clarity to the strategic planning process. He demystifies strategy, focusing the reader in on the essentials. Defining the “crux” of the challenge(s) that must be solved is the core of all great strategies.
Here’s another great little booklet I’m reading for my biblical counseling certification. Newheiser is an excellent counselor with decades of experience. Nearly every page of my Kindle version has highlights and notes!
This week I finished this excellent beginning to a widely-read trilogy. Brandon Sanderson’s Mistborn Saga has received rave reviews. I’d highly recommend this one.
