Making decisions, working stress-free and leading ‘lawfully’

GettingThingsDoneGetting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity

by David Allen (Penguin, 978-0-142-00028-1, 2002).

Dubbed the “personal productivity guru” by Fast Company magazine, coach and consultant Allen reveals the connection between our mind-set and productivity. He asserts that it is only when our minds are clear and our thoughts are organized that we can be productive and creative.

The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership: Follow Them and People Will Follow You (Tenth Anniversary Edition) by John C. Maxwell (Thomas Nelson, 978-0-785-28837-4, 2007)

This is one of the best, most accessible books on leadership there is.  Several of these leadership “laws” run through my head at any given moment, and I know that following them makes a difference.

The Traveler’s Gift: Seven Decisions That Determine Personal Success by Andy Andrews (Thomas Nelson, 978-0-785-27322-6, 2005).

I was in marketing with Thomas Nelson when this book was published and fell in love with it when I first read the manuscript. My husband had the seven decisions taped on his bathroom mirror for years. I think it should be required reading for everyone, especially in the midst of hard, scary times.
