I'm the youngest of 5 management team members so I believe my youth may be causing me to see problems and solutions differently than the other team members and that can become very frustrating to a newer, younger manager. I just finished reading "Ahead of the Curve; a practical guide to strategic planning" and found it very refreshing. It stresses the need for simplicity in pretty much all that we hope to accomplish and many of the other things John Kotter stresses in Leading Change. For months Leading Change was my go to source to help me understand many of the issues our management group faced. I must have read it 15 times and imagine I'll be re-reading Ahead of the Curve several more times in the coming weeks and months. I'm so glad I didn't see "The Rockefeller Habits" on your list of recommendations. If anyone cares to hear more about my experiences with "The Habits" let me know.
