Tribes

Seth Godin

PB AUD30.00

This is a book that is getting a huge amount of 'blog time' across the leadership segment of the internet yet looks deceptively simple when sitting on the shelf in a bookstore. Godwin's argument is that today everybody has an opportunity to start a movement by bringing together a tribe of like-minded people and do amazing things.

In his research he found that too many people ignore the opportunity to lead because they are 'sheepwalking' their way through their lives and work, too afraid to question whether their compliance is doing them or their company any good. This is a book for those that don't want to be sheep and instead have a desire to do fresh and exciting work.

The Element

Ken Robinson

PB AUD32.95

Author Ken Robinson has a deep belief that each of us are born with tremendous natural capacities which we tend to lose touch with them as we spend more time in the world. He states in his introduction that his aim with this book is to offer a richer vision of human ability and creativity and of the benefits of all of us connecting properly with our individual talents and passions.

He uses the term element to describe the place where the things we love to do and the things we are good at come together. The stories inside the covers come from a wide range of people - Paul McCartney, Matt Groening, creator of The Simpsons , writer Arianne Huffington and actress Meg Ryan, to name a few.
