My 2022 in Books.

Taken from my Goodreads account

1. Building a StoryBrand by Donald Miller (5/5), an excellent framework that focuses on the audience

2. How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie (5/5)

3. The Courage To Be Disliked by Fumitake Koga and Ichiro Kishimi (2/5), read 80% but wasn’t feeling it

4. Delivering Happiness by Tony Hsieh (3/5), at some parts I could not help but wonder — is this culture or cultish?

5. Year of Yes by Shonda Rhimes (3.5/5)

6. Ride of a Lifetime by Robert Iger (5/5, fav) — Summary

• “You have to convey your priorities clearly and repeatedly. In my experience, it’s what separates great managers from the rest. If leaders don’t articulate their priorities clearly, then the people around them don’t know what their own priorities should be. Time, energy and capital get wasted… take the guess work out of their day to day lives.”
• “… the need to be present for your people… is a vital leadership quality understand any circumstances… it’s easy for leaders to send a signal that their schedules are too full, their time too valuable, to be dealing with individual problems and concerns, but being present for your people and making sure they know you’re available to them is so important for the morale and effectiveness of a company.”
