This is a great book that I refer to regularly when providing feedback, and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to give feedback to a colleague. Huston breaks down the different types of feedback—appreciation, coaching, and evaluation—as well as how to approach each one. The chapters on growth mindset are critical, and Part 2 is all about best practices. This is a must-read for team leaders and managers.

There are many books about employee engagement, but because Amy Brann is an expert in neuroscience, this is an interesting angle. The book is well written and, while covering the in-depth neuroscience, Brann also explains and describes the practices that lead to engagement and positive behavior change.

A few months ago, I had the opportunity to attend an engaging session by Robert Damelio at an International Society for Performance Improvement event, which piqued my interest in his work. After the session, I added The Basics of Process Mapping to my reading shelf. As someone who is continually looking to refine my process improvement expertise, I am excited to dive into The Basics of Process Mapping and learn even more from Damelio's wealth of experience. I believe this book will be an invaluable resource that will enhance my understanding of process mapping and its applications in driving organizational success.

Rummler and Brache present a holistic view of process management, stating that most breakdowns occur in the functional interfaces—the organization's white spaces—where processes are passed to other departments. I like this book because it considers the three levels of performance (organizational, process, and performer) when most consider training to be the only answer. Rummler's Serious Performance Consulting is great for further reading as it presents a case study showing how these principles can be applied.

As a fan of behavior design, Fogg's methodology has instant appeal. The power of tiny is a science-backed concept supported by case studies and exercises to bring the idea to life. Pick up this book to learn about the B=MAP model and recipes to create “Shine.”
