#booknotes is an ongoing series that spotlights somewhat random, but mostly valuable business and life insights from the most recent books that I’ve read. These are not book reports or summaries; they’re just the things I highlighted, underlined, starred and revisited. Click the links below for each set of notes.

One of my favourite reads from last year (well listen actually through Audible).? Beyond what you shared in your review, was how actionable and non-preachy it is.?

No trust issues, and navigating inter-department subcultures hit home. Thanks for the reminder.
