What is a good book on leadership?

This is a question I get all the time.

In my view there is no one universal book on leadership  that you must read.

The book you will learn most from is your own daily journal. Seriously.

Ask yourself  these 4 questions at the end of each day:

  • What was my intention today?
  • What did I observe?
  • What did I learn?
  • What is my intention for tomorrow?

Do this every day and you will learn the most amazing  things.

Accelerate your learning by doing a weekly review of the past weeks entries.

Now ask your self:

  • What was my intention this week?
  • What did I observe?
  • What did I learn?
  • What is my intention for the coming week ?

Enjoy

The courage to look at yourself

“The problem is that leaders think they’re supposed to be courageous in facing the outside world, whereas what is so profoundly transformative is the courage to look at yourself.

It’s the courage to not give up on yourself, even though you do see your aggression, jealousy, meanness, and so on.

And it turns out that in facing these things, we develop not self-denigration but compassion for our shared humanity.”

Reflections on Creating a Remarkable Service Organisation

As you may know, I have been blogging on this site for quite a few years now.

Now I decided it’s time for a change. For the rest of the year, I will be producing short 5-10 minute video blogs. Here is the first one that explains what this will all be about.

If you have ideas, suggestions or feedback in whatever form, please let do me know.
