'Leaders Eat Last' by @simonsinek
I had mixed thoughts on this one. I found the overall message on point, even when disagreeing on some observations. Overall, an engaging anthology on leadership.

I anticipated reading 'Leaders Eat Last' during this challenge. I enjoyed Sinek's TED talk and his book 'Start with Why' (September's book) was one of the first LPD books I picked up.

âI donât divide the world into the weak and the strong, the successes and the failures...I divide the world into the learners and the non learners.â ~ Benjamin Barber
As Army leaders, we are charged with subordinate development. Of all the challenges to this outcome, maybe the most significant is the idea that some Soldiers are incapable of being developed.
âJohn Brown: A Biography of American abolitionistâ by W.E.B. Du Bois. A fascinating telling of the antebellum abolitionist whose belief -"Slavery is wrong"- thrust him and into a personal war to uproot an institution older than the nation he loved.

History is often viewed as a series of conquests and successes resulting in a modern humans sitting at the paramount of civilization. Petroski turns this on it's head through an analysis of design and engineering failures that stimulated invention and innovation.
âSuccessful tests are unremarkable... Failures are remarkable. The failures always teach us more than the successes about the design of things.â
Finished âInvisible Womenâ by @CCriadoPerez today.
I would be lying if I said it was a relaxing read. No, it was like a VR experience with an infuriating view of my own biases throughout.

âSeeing men as the default human is fundamental to the structure of human society.â
âWhat? No. Really?â The first line, and already my bias was showing. A common occurrence through the meticulously presented data of how at every turn, half the worldâs population is let down.

It is no wonder that âWomen will buy books by and about men, but men wonât buy books by and about women (or at least not many.)â I noted that my reading list just form this year is skewed to male authors. (3 to 12)
Completed âDonât Unplugâ by @chrisdancy. Great read, funny, insightful, and a little painfully relatable.
Recommend it and no matter what, do not skip the epilogue.

I had the joy of attending a virtual LPD by Chris and pick up his book to dive into his cyborg thoughts a bit more.
The part one quote from the Nintendo quite screen assured me I was going to enjoy it.

I could never collect or analyze or process the amount of self-data that Chris has, but his structured development from his data to information to knowledge to wisdom was consistent with my KM proclivities.
