GREAT INSIGHTS FROM GREAT BOOKS! To write a book about crime, Malcolm Gladwell acquired 150 books on the subject. See My Ideal Bookshelf (Book #2) and Talking to Strangers (Book #43). 

To inspire your team members, mention this from Jim Mattis, author of Call Sign Chaos: Learning to Lead (Book #8): “If you haven’t read hundreds of books, learning from others who went before you, you are functionally illiterate—you can’t coach and you can’t lead.” Mattis notes that the Marines have a required reading list for every rank. “Even generals are assigned a new set of books that they must consume. At no rank is a Marine excused from studying.”

This 405-page resource includes a study guide, a list of “bonus books,” and for each book—weekly meeting discussion questions and accountability next steps. (The “Q &A with Son and Pearson” introduction is serious, but hilarious!)
