Good concepts in here, but I found it hard to actually internalise this enough to remember it and therefore apply any of the concepts at work.

Fascinating book about why a lot of people choose to ignore fatal facts that threaten us. She talks about Enron, an unsafe oil platform that exploded, and other events. She uses brain studies, etc. It hit home. I'm prone to dismiss uncomfortable things. Shows value of honesty and avoiding being a yes-person and seeking out criticism.

I'll pass on this one. It's one of those very long books that builds its case anecdotally. It reminds me of those irritating semi-documentaries that present a kaleidoscope of talking heads and leave you feeling vertiginous. It's a shame, since I agree with the author's point and therefore wanted to like the book. You may have more patience for this style of writing.

Quels sont les petits changements d'organisation, si peu spectaculaires au premier regard, qui donnentà leurs équipes un dynamisme hors pair?
