Giving the gift of a good read

If you were to read one book during the holidays, that has the potential to change 2020 for the better – which one would it be? If you don’t know, it should be this one.

Christmas holidays means spending time with the people we love. But for many, it is also a time for reflection. Looking back, and at the same time gathering energy for a new year. During days like these, it can be especially useful to read inspiring books.

The future of your company
My recommendation for this holiday, is the book «Dreams & Details». It is truly a world of inspiration between two covers! The leadership model described by the Danish authors Mikael Trolle and Jim Hagemann Snabe, impacts the way one thinks about the future of your company in a fast changing business. It inspires you to start thinking about reinventing your company – before it is too late.

Unleash human potential
In a world of digital disruption, «Dreams and Details» helps leaders at all levels develop and unleash human potential to achieve exceptional performance. The book integrates important elements such as what motivates people and why, purpose, and how to build agile organisations prepared for change. Also, the book provides a toolbox that allows you to get started right away.

«Reinvent your business and leadership from a position of strength», is the book’s sub-heading, coming from authors with a very interesting combination of backgrounds. While Jim Hagemann Snabe is a renowned leader and businessman, Mikael Trolle’s background is from elite sports and organization.

Scandinavian leadership models
I believe this to be a highly interesting read for professionals in our industry, looking towards new challenges and rapid changes in the years to come. «Dreams & Details» adapts well to Scandinavian management models. Even so, it challenges existing business structures and provides us with a key to how we should deal with the future.

Inspires leaders
My recommendation is not the only one – by far! Here is one from Gary Hamel, Management expert, author and Visiting Professor at London Business School: «Dreams & Details inspires leaders to replace bureaucracy with human creativity and defines a new leadership model for continuous reinvention in a world of relentless change.»
