Chapter 5. The Book Bucket CORE COMPETENCY #5
We believe leaders are readers! We create a culture that embraces a healthy appetite for leadership and management books, journals, articles and audio resources. We mentor team members with thoughtfully selected titles and chapters to help them leverage their strengths, grow in their faith and serve others with passion. We don’t just talk about books—we actually read them! RESOURCES IN THE BOOK BUCKET - WORKSHEET #5.1: "Your Top-100 Books List." Download this Word document and read pages 82-86. Begin today and create your own Top-100 Books List. Don't borrow heavily from others. Make this YOUR unique list with memorable book friends that have guided you on your leadership and management journey. Then mentor others with carefully selected books.
- RESOURCE #5.2: "20 Books to Get You Started." Download this list (PDF) of 20 books (one per bucket), as shown on pages 83-85. You will eventually have a different Top-20 list, but this will give you some ideas.
- RESOURCE #5.3: "John Pearson's Top-100 Books." Download this Top-100 list (PDF) and use it as a resource. It's not prescriptive necessarily for anyone else because it reflects John's understanding (at the time) of "what I know I don't know." The list is organized according to the 20 buckets. The list is updated every January to make room for new books.
