It’s hard to believe that it is already March!

Hopefully, you are sticking with your goals or word for the year. If not, get back to it. It isn’t too late and you knew 2020 was the year for that focus.

Favorite book:

I have loved Marcus Buckingham’s new book Nine Lies About Work: A Freethinking Leader’s Guide to the Real World. I love its contrarian take on all things leadership and what we think about work. 

Favorite podcasts:

Carey Nieuwhof’s interview with Susan Steinbrecher on How to lead change, deal with conflict at work and increase team engagement is pure gold. I loved the emphasis she gave in terms of the emotional side of change (something that is easy to forget as leaders) and how best to walk through difficult conversations at work.

Favorite blog posts:

If you don’t want to read all of Marcus Buckingham’s book on work, this article on the feedback fallacy is incredibly helpful and this short video on why feedback fails.

This article on how to see self-awareness, knowing when to leave your leadership post and pass the baton by looking at the journey of Disney CEO, Bob Iger, is an incredible article. I was blown away by his ability to see where he and his company was and leave it in a better position than when he got there. It definitely made me reflect on my ability to do that one day.
