On My List
Recently someone asked me on Twitter what’s on my reading list for this year,
so… I thought I would share with you what’s on my radar so far:
Good to Great and the Social Sectors by Jim Collins
The Leadership Pipeline by Charan, Drotter & Noel
Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell
Tribal Leadership by Logan, King & Fischer-Wright
Paul, Women & Wives by Craig Keener
Sacred Rhythms by Ruth Haley Barton
Management of the Absurd by Richard Farson
Surprised by Joy by C.S. Lewis
Necessary Dreams by Anna Fels
The Leader’s Voice by Crossland & Clarke
Open by Andre Agassi
Those are the ones waiting in line on my shelves. I’ll add more as the year goes. I like to have a mix of new books and older books. I also have rule that everything I read is based upon recommendation.
Currently I’m in the middle of:
- Going Rogue by Sarah Palin
- Put Your Dream to the Test by John C. Maxwell
- My Sister’s Keeper by Jodi Piccoult
- True North by Bill George
And I recently finished this book:
I’ve just recently discovered Bill George and I’m really enjoying his books. 7 Lessons for Leading in Crisis is a great, practical resource especially if you find yourself facing an unexpected leadership crisis.
What is on your reading list this year?
Sheesh…that's a lot of books. Still noodling through my list. Plan B is on it.
Oh yes, of course Plan B – it's gonna be one of the greatest of 2009!
Jenni, i love and share your passion for reading. If i remember, you read several at a time like i do. 🙂 I may steal a few ideas from your list! i just read Emotionally Healthy Spirituality and loved it, i am reading 5 conversations Every Mom Needs to have With Her Daughter by Vicki Courtney, Parenting Is Heart Work by Turansky and Miller and The Secret Garden with the girls and Red Hot Monogamy by Bill and Pam Farrel, with Pat, which we would highly recommend!!
Mandy – Emotionally Healthy Spirituality is one of my favorite books!
How do you like Going Rouge? I've been debating whether or not to read it. I love to read! I'm reading a biography on Benjamin Franklin right now. A recommendation from Jeff Henderson.
Kendra -I just started Going Rouge so I'll let you know when I get a bit further. Hope you are well!
I'm happy to see that Jodi Piccooult book. You know my reading list is exactly the opposite all fiction .. and one non-fiction. Happy reading!
