Book A Week -Recommended Reads – Week 39 Onwards
I love reading, learning and exploring new idea’s. It may be obvious by the background, and it is to those who know me. I am often quoting books or recommended reads to those I network with and mentor.
Picking up on a suggestion a couple of months ago, via WUN, I am sharing some of my most favourite reads, and why I think they are great and useful or helpful. It was difficult to curate a short list, so it a long one… 52! A book a week for the year ahead ☺️ Hayley Monks, WUN Co-Founder & Director.
– For clarity – having been asked this (by someone who is trying to keep pace!) I am not reading a book a week! I have read these books over the years and these are my favourites… some of them I am re-reading….
Recommended reads
Reads 39 onwards below include:
The AI Driven Leader
I love books 📚 (39 of 52)
The AI Driven Leader – by Geoff Woods
The irony of me recommending a book on this topic is not lost on me!
But its good.
I have bought it, shared it and gifted it!
Is AI changing things? – hell yes! But life is change and change is life.
6 out of the 10 jobs that exist today, didn’t in 1940……jobs and roles changed with computers and digitalisation. As we adopt AI it will change again, new roles will evolve and develop, replacing some current ones.
As a leader I found this book a simplistic and helpful guide to utilising AI in my day job – really utilising it not just asking it to draft and email or Linkedin post 🤣
In my case, my AI assistant is Co-pilot; by framing the context of the help or questions I was looking for and, in some cases, interviewing me, to help me work through certain ideas, plans and questions.
Having a thought partner in AI is incredibly helpful and as author Geoff Woods say “It’s tough to read the label when you are inside the box”
