Here's my suggestion:

What You Accept is What You Teach " by Henry Cohen

IMHO, I think successfully managing human dynamics is the foundation to

a successful office/dept/etc.

Happy Friday List,

I agree with 's choice of Covey's " 7 Habits " , and a book with

similar ideas is Carnegie's " How to Win Friends and Influence People " . Another

favorite is " Crucial Conversations " by /Grenny/McMillan/Switzler, which

gives terrific clues as to why we respond to tough conversations badly

(surprise! - it's a chemical reaction), why discussions disintegrate and how to

avoid those pitfalls. Lastly, " The Servant " by Hunter is an easy read

with a great message - an introduction to Servant Leadership.

,

In addition to Covey's books my favorites include " Good to Great " by

Jim and the Gitomer books, my first experience being

the " Little Red Book of Selling " . I've reviewed both for Impact Magazine

and felt that they offered a valuable perspective for physical therapists.

Elmer Platz, PT

[Guest guest]

There are so many!

I recommend Kouzes and Posner's " The Truth about Leadership " published in 2010

and a nice summary of their work; Jim " Good to Great " and anything by

Marcus Buckingham.

The Book of Not Knowing: Exploring the True Nature of Self, Mind, and

Consciousness by Ralston

Leading from Within: Martial arts skills for dynamic business and management by

Pater

They're not mainstream but that's what makes them valuable. Leadership and

management start from within. The biggest deficit our profession and our

country faces is a leadership deficit. The same old thought patterns and

actions will yield the same old results. In game theory, you could say we face

the prisoner's dilemma. The answer isn't selecting choice A or choice B but to

break out of prison.

Great question! I'm enjoying the responses.

Switch: How to Change Things When Change is Hard, by Chip and Dan Heath (they

also wrote Made to Stick: Why Some Ideas Survive and Others Die).

The Heaths have a nice writing style and I happened to read this book at a time

I was preparing to initiate changes in our workplace.

Listen Up, Leader! by Cottrell. Very short, but a great book for anyone

starting out in a leadership role. It's very practical and not a bad idea to go

back and read now and then.
