Legacy – 15 Lessons in Leadership: What the All Blacks Can Teach Us About the Business of Life” by James Kerr

I found this an incredibly humbling and inspiring book.  James Kerr gives us an incredible insight into the most successful team in sporting history and shows how their rituals, symbols and stories contribute to their success.  These are lessons not just for sport and business, but for life.  Just as the All Blacks are expected to “leave the jersey in a better place”, imagine if we all lived our lives to “leave the world in a better place” – how would we live differently and how would we be differently (than perhaps we are today)?

Breakthrough Ideas
” by Warren Berger

I found this book very illuminating and inspiring.  Warren Berger describes the way that great breakthrough ideas come from asking better questions of ourselves and gives many real-life examples of these.  He also challenges the current approach to education in many countries, systems and schools – highlighting the fact that most are filling children’s minds with information, rather than getting them to really enquire, think and create.
