BLOGKnowledge to Action

by Randall CraigFiled in: Blog, Book, Make It Happen Tipsheet, Personal Development, Professional DevelopmentTagged as: , ,

When was the last time you read a good book? Or rather, when was the last time you read a good book that was good for you? No, not a trash novel, or even one that is mildly entertaining. What is a good book? It is one that moves you one step closer to your objectives.

These books might be in the area of your professional expertise, or perhaps one that leads to a certification. They might be in an area where you have daily challenges, or in an area where you are looking for future growth. They might be on subjects like natural science, history, or philosophy, in order to get you thinking in new directions. Or they might be on the process of personal development, or digital strategy.

Reading good books help develop your intellectual strength, which benefits you both now and in your future. Reading also develops your intellectual flexibility, which will help you adapt to change, if that is what you are looking to do.

Whether it be in a conversations with your colleagues, clients, or with friends or family, the insights that you pick up lend new perspective to the discussion. The insights also show that you are a person of depth.

THIS WEEK’S ACTION PLAN

Go to the bookstore or library, and look for a “good” book that appears interesting. If you’re not sure where to start, look at the business best-sellers list, or ask your colleagues and clients what they are reading. After you read the book, find an opportunity to share what you’ve learned with them, and then convert your knowledge to action.
