Strategic Alignment

Mentee Reading | The best-aligned enterprises are the best performing. Strategic alignment - of internal and external factors - is critical for all aspects of a company to be synchronised towards a common purpose and moving in the same direction. Alignment is systemic and iterative requiring continuous evaluation, adjustment and communication.

Love What You Do and Do What Sustains You

Mentee Reading | The path to satisfaction is not linear. Hopefully, along the way you’ll discover the crucial intersection between what you love to do and how you contribute it to others. Fulfilment doesn’t come from one-off peaks, but from many consistent good days. So how do we sustain performance, foster deeper connections, know ourselves, find more in life and do what we love?

Lost Leaders

Mentee Reading | When life and work don’t go as planned, sometimes under challenging and confronting circumstances, there can be a painful sense of being unable to find the way. Rather than staying lost or being stuck in ‘not knowing’ or making mental mistakes about the future, look for that breakthrough.

Achieving What Matters Most

Mentee Reading | Achieving What Matters Most is the focus of this reading list selection, exploring if we can achieve and master something we choose, if the work we did had significance, if we could tap hidden potential, if we could smooth the friction, if we could make the right things easier and the wrong or pointless things harder. Happy reading and stay curious!

Flux, Failure and Risk

Mentee Reading | We face flux, change and difficult situations all the time. We may succeed or we may fail. It helps to both fail well and to learn from our success - to understand how we make decisions and our reasoning abilities. We can also learn from ‘risk-takers’ about why they do what they do, how they prepare, and how they’ve handled things going wrong. Happy reading and stay curious!

A High-Performing Board

Mentee Reading | A high-performing board is a function of good governance with the capability to lead through the future changes and current challenges of the external environment, guided by a skilled Chair and CEO, with competent people who know what they are doing and a clear organisational purpose. These are the underlying messages of the six books chosen. Happy reading and stay curious!
