The Talent Code. Greatness isn’t born it’s grown, Here’s how. Daniel Coyle. 2009. ISBN 9780553906493. Singularly the best book on performance and development I have read yet. The question came up, why do these clusters of high performance sprout up? Korean LPGA golfers, Russian ladies tennis stars? Curacao’s run of World Little League finals, Magnet schools that outperform? Brazilian soccer? Finnish school children? The failures of Whole language instruction? Its all in here folks and the secrets are based on neuroscience, growth and the impact of deep learning ( coupled with the 10 000 hour rule) . Read about the importance of struggle, fire and ignition of vision, and how top coaches are able to do this. What you can do at home, in business to develop a high performance culture. Recognize the hard work ( not brains) and encourage struggles, not participation is what I first took away , but there is more , much more.

Start Small Finish Big. Fifteen key lessons to start and run your own successful business. Fred DeLuca. 2000. ISBN 9781627040020. I have had this on my Kindle for a year and finally got to read it. I enjoyed this book The author founded Subway with $1000 and a dream. He details that journey and many others through interviews with selected founders. These successful businesses are not all tech start-ups or flashy product companies. They provide a needed service or product that required the founders to work hard at the process, never give up and eventually break into national or regional powerhouses. Its uplifting and realistic and I recommend it to anyone who wants to be their own boss.
