Sharing a selection of books by Dianne Jacobs on themes that help explore leadership challenges and thinking differently.
These book choices as part of my mentor-coach work will challenge our certainties and gently nudge us into rethinking what we thought we knew. They will take us on a journey to the recent past and a different future, to mental maps and viewpoints different from our own. It is one of curiosity and discovery – of artificial intelligence and human thinking; of insight and foresight; of merit and fixed mindsets; of rebels and dissenters; of ancient wisdom and regeneration; of energy and power; of conviction and courage; of an eye on the horizon and seeing what others don’t; of boardrooms and c-suites; of transformation and sustainability.
Happy reading and stay curious!
