Guide to Deep Work, Mental Models for Founders and Leaders and Qs for better 1:1s
3/10 top best picks from my "Good stuff to read later" list
Hey there,
I am trying something new this week :) I’m at an ASU/GSV Summit in San Diego. ASU/GSV is to EdTech enthusiasts what ComicCon is to Marvel and Star Wars fans. So I am switching between events, presentations, meetings, and more meetings and I did not want to have you go 1 week w/o useful resources that help you be a more effective leader at work.
So I am trying something new this week: I have a reading list in which I collect the most interesting articles to read later. I picked a selection of 3 articles that I found were some of the best stuff I read lately.
Let me know how you like this format and if you want me to reveal the other 7/10 best picks from my “Good stuff to read later” list.
