Another great thing about Core Team meetings, is that Alan, (International Director of Latin Link) always manages to recommends some great books. This time it was Hit the Ground Running; Seeing Leadership differently, by Stephen Cottrell - which I managed to read during the week that we were meeting together. It´s a great book -- small and easily digestable- making you question all the usual 'wisdom' that gets chucked around these days. He encourages you not to 'hit the ground running' - but to take time to observe and listen and reflect, to reinvent some wheels, to count your chickens before the hatch - and definitely not to develop a thick skin.
It was quite refreshing to hear something quite so counter-cultural in our world full of success-driven management speak and self help books.
