Status update and reading list – July 2019

I’m reading a few books right now, so I thought I’d share in case you were looking for new ideas.

1. The Fearless Organization – Amy Edmondson – A primer on Psychological Safety, why you need it, and how to get it.
2. The Fifth Discipline and the Fifth Discipline Fieldbook– Peter Senge. How to create an organization that continually learns.
3. Thinking in Systems – Donella Meadows – A primer on systems thinking, giving you new perspectives into the world around you, and how your team builds software.
4. Dialogue: The Art of Thinking Together – William Issacs – How dialogue is different from a discussion, and clear, practical rules for learning to talk (and think!) together.
5. On Dialogue – David Bohm – Theoretical quantum physicist David Bohm’s ideas about thought, language, and dialogue.

I’m also digging into material from the Human Systems Dynamics Institute – lots of free stuff and webinars from their mailing list.

 

I’m also working on my book, working with a new client, and writing a New Manager Training Program based on some of my favorite books.

What are you reading these days?

Best,
Marcus
