Who – Geoff Smart
I wouldn’t hire anyone without following the principles in this book.
Scorecards describe the mission for the position, outcomes that must be accomplished, and competencies that fit with both the culture of the company and the role.
We define an A Player this way: a candidate who has at least a 90 percent chance of achieving a set of outcomes that only the top 10 percent of possible candidates could achieve.
Good Strategy/Bad Strategy – Richard Rumelt
Stop and think through your strategy.
The core of strategy work is always the same: discovering the critical factors in a situation and designing a way of coordinating and focusing actions to deal with those factors.
Good strategy is not just “what” you are trying to do. It is also “why” and “how” you are doing it.
The Most Important Thing – Howard Marks
Rethinking asymmetric risk and returns.
Experience is what you got when you didn’t get what you wanted.
Well bought is half sold.
The Power of One More – Ed Mylett
Revisiting your thinking and focus.
Self‐confident people share one habit in common, and that is the ability to keep the promises they make to themselves.
One of the keys to changing your identity is to let faith move mountains in all parts of your life.
The Obstacle Is the Way – Ryan Holiday
Based on the Marcus Aurelius quote “The mind adapts and converts to its own purposes the obstacle to our acting. The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.”
Focusing exclusively on what is in our power magnifies and enhances our power.
Where the head goes, the body follows. Perception precedes action. Right action follows the right perspective.
The Sacred Search – Gary Thomas
Why and who about marriage.
A good marriage isn't something you find, its something you make.
It's just as important to ask yourself why you want to get married as it is to ask whom should you marry.
The Meaning of Marriage – Timothy Keller
A book about the purpose of marriage.
Whether we are husband or wife, we are not to live for ourselves but for the other. And that is the hardest yet single most important function of being a husband or a wife in marriage.
Wedding vows are not a declaration of present love but a mutually binding promise of future love.
What Did You Expect? – Paul David Tripp
Another book about the purpose of marriage.
