12 Amazon Prime Day Offers Every Leader Should Take Advantage Of

October 8th and 9th are Amazon Prime Days.  These are two days of great offers for leaders.  The following are 12 items you should take advantage of.

Books

• The Why Is Everything: The Story of Football, Rivalry, and Revolution by Michael Silver – As I read this book, it struck me.  Even though this is an incredible football and leadership book, this is really a book about creativity. When Kyle Shanahan became the NFL’s youngest offensive coordinator in 2008, he had one prevailing rule: Tell me the why. If a colleague couldn’t justify his position by providing the unassailable reasoning behind it, he was told to get the hell out of Shanahan’s office. Shanahan and the members of his coaching tree―including Sean McVay, Mike McDaniel, Raheem Morris, and Matt LaFleur―came up in a sport where innovation was the exception, not the rule.
• Revenge of the Tipping Point: Overstories, Superspreaders, and the Rise of Social Engineering by Malcolm Gladwell – Twenty-five years after the publication of his groundbreaking first book, Malcolm Gladwell returns with a brand-new volume that reframes the lessons of The Tipping Point in a startling and revealing light.
• Dynamic Drive: The Purposed-Fueled Formula for Sustainable Success by Molly Fletcher – This isn’t just another self-help theory: Dynamic Drive is your practical guide to unlocking your true potential. Through her decades of experience working with top athletes and peak performers across industries, renowned keynote speaker and leadership expert Molly Fletcher has created a proven formula backed by research that outlines the seven keys to sustainable success.
• Voices: The Power, Pain & Purpose of Voices by Sam Chand – One of my favorite authors and leaders! We live in a world of voices: disparaging ones, encouraging ones, skeptical ones, and meaningful ones. As leaders are being pulled in every imaginable direction, learning to filter out the destructive voices, harness the constructive ones, and use the painful ones for purpose has never been more critical than it is right now. Leadership architect and consultant Sam Chand offers a path forward in Voices-a timely guide for leaders whose hearing has been dulled from the deafening noise of conflicting voices.

Mighty: 7 Skills You Need to Move from Pandemic to Progress by Brian Dodd – Yes, this is my latest book and I hope you purchase several copies if you haven’t already.  Production. Passion. Resilience. Teamwork. Contentment. Courage. Faith. These seven skills were embodied over three thousand years ago by a group of elite warriors known as David’s Mighty Men. These highly-capable individuals helped take David, the man who had previously defeated Goliath, from a wilderness experience to leading a nation. I want you to know the same skills used by David’s’ Mighty Men still work today. In my new book Mighty: 7 Skills You Need to Move from Pandemic to Progress, I show you how applying these skills can help you become Mighty and move from the Pandemic to Progress.
