Just finished reading Good to Great again. Forces for Good and Good to Great are absolutely fantastic books on their own but also quite complementary. Regardless of the enterprise's motive, deliberate leadership and actions clearly do matter.      source

Started reading this unputdownable book yesterday, just before leaving Palo Alto. Less than 20 hours later, I've gone through one of the best books I've read in a while. I look forward to reading the other book I got on the same subject, "How to Ikigai".      source
