 A while ago, a coach and some other books I had read recommended to me Daring Greatly: How the Courage to Be Vulnerable Transforms the Way We Live, Love, Parent, and Lead
by Brené Brown. I recently finished reading it and thought it was very interesting. I enjoyed a lot of the stories within it and the details of the scientific approach the author took in her research. The big lesson is that vulnerability combined with self-acceptance and belief that you're worthy are critical for connection and in many parts of life (work, family, parenting, etc.). This is an important lesson for any leader or parent. Below are some of my notes and takeaways.

 I recently finished reading From Impossible To Inevitable: How Hyper-Growth Companies Create Predictable Revenue by Aaron Ross and Jason Lemkin, and this might be my favorite book so far this year. It was super inspirational and no-nonsense, and I'm already implementing at least five concrete changes/suggestions that I learned from the book. As I read the book, so many of the struggles and pitfalls it described resonated personally with me, so I was very interested in its advice.
It builds on Predictable Revenue and gives a lot more context all around it. It even gets into topics like leadership, management, recruiting, fundraising, and beyond. I liked hearing both perspectives from the authors on the various topics, and the specific case studies included inside were very inspiring. This book is top notch. I highly recommend this to any founder learning sales and building a sales org. My main notes and takeaways are below.  I recently finished reading Turn the Ship Around!: A True Story of Turning Followers into Leaders by L. David Marquet. It's a classic leadership book based on true stories from a captain of a naval nuclear submarine. The specific naval stories were very interesting and compelling, and the book was concise and focused, interweaving many practical lessons throughout.
I liked the theme of "leader-leader" vs. "leader-follower" and many of the associated mindsets and practices that it entails. I especially liked the ideas of "deliberate action" and saying "I intend to" followed by action. Below are some of my main notes and takeaways. This is a great book for any leader who wants to improve in how they empower their team and grow others into leaders as well. |
