Inspiring Reading for Women Leaders

  • 1.  Inspiring Reading for Women Leaders

    Posted 07-24-2018 12:46
    This list of reading for women leaders appeared in one of my social media feeds today. Wondering if any of you have read any of these, what you got from it, or where to start with the list? I'd love to hear your thoughts. These lists can be overwhelming sometimes, especially for a non-bookworm like me.

    https://www.huffingtonpost.com/jonha-revesencio/16-books-aspiring-women-l_b_11090646.html?_lrsc=ecfce222-16b4-498d-b7c0-a6f28fb3cf0f

    Any other recommendations as we all compile/finalize our summer reading. First on my list is "The 5 Second Rule" by Mel Robbins, I heard her speak at an event and was really taken by the simple approach.

    I look forward to hearing your recommendations for the group.

    Thanks
    George

    Courageous Counsel - Having worked for Michele Coleman Mayes, and found her to be one of the most fascinating and inspirational women that I have had the pleasure of working for, I had to read this one!  But it's a really interesting read.

    ​I listened to Lean In, and I really loved it.    (here are my thoughts from when I listened to this - wow, it was in 2015! - I enjoyed listening to this book. I appreciate Sheryl being so candid in sharing ... It really is okay to cry. I only caution readers to remember, it's okay to support men in the workplace (and at home too). Many of the things Sheryl attributed to women, guilt about our choices, feeling like we let our children down, not feeling we are doing well enough at work, often are also male feelings. I look forward to the day when we don't say female CEO, but just expect there are women CEOs (and everywhere else too). Women really can do it.)

    Georgina,

     

    Thank you for sharing this list; my reading list just got longer! While not on the list, I found "Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking"  by Susan Cain, to be enlightening and empowering. Those of us who may have 20 minutes to learn about her book and message may enjoy her TED Talk: https://www.ted.com/talks/susan_cain_the_power_of_introverts.

     

    Thank you and have a great day,

    ___________

    ​I especially enjoyed "Mr Lincoln's T-Mails - How Abraham Lincoln used the telegraph to win the Civil War" by Tom Wheeler.  There is so much relevance, especially for us in technology/information management, of how communication via the telegraph is so similar to that of the e-mail.  Where, sight unseen, the written word, tone, etc. can be misunderstood, misinterpreted and may also be precisely timely.

    ​Georgina,

    Thank you so much for mentioning the "5 Second Rule".  I just finished reading it and have already seen an improvement in my life.  No more snooze button for me!

    Read the book and continue to use Mel's tips. It is so simple ... 5/4/3/2/1... get moving. Days I want to stand back, I find myself reciting these words and I just do it.

     

    I subscribe to her weekly messages – Take 5 with Mel Robbins.  If you are interested, check her out.

     

    Make today magical.

     

    Take care,

    Colleen

    Jess, I just ordered the 5-second Rule not only for myself but because I have 3 teenagers who don't want to hit the snooze button.  I will share my review with you.  :) Lori Nelson

    ​Does anyone have a good book recommendation on Strategic Thinking and/or Strategic Planning?

    Thanks!

    @Reese Evenson - not specifically on strategic strategy but moreso for understanding how to identify purpose and organize around, check out Principles by Ray Dalio. Some of feels re-hashed, but I get that feeling with a lot of books of this nature. Perhaps to my own determent, I skim most of them using the app Blinklist.

    We're also hosting a member VIP Lounge on user adoption--which you could be interested in. In addition to their story and recommendations , the member is sharing a list of book reviews as well during session--check them out here.

    Hopefully this is somewhat helpful!

    @Jessica Lombardo Thanks for the recommendation for the app!

    I caught bits and pieces of the ​VIP lounge this morning, do you have a link to the book list that doesn't require logging in to Microsoft?

    Thanks!

    ​Hello,

    I'm a newbie to the group but found this string intriguing. I just started reading "Dare to Lead" by Brene Brown and am loving it so far. Not specific to this industry but the ideas are universal and very actionable regardless of where you are in your career.
