The TiPPinG PoinT: how liTTle ThinGS can make a biG diFFerence by malcolm gladwell now a classic, The Tipping Point has affected the way I view the world, and how I lead. It looks at how organizations and society evolve – specifically, at how change happens. Gladwell illustrates very effectively that fundamental change occurs when an idea, trend or social behaviour crosses a threshold, or tips. I took away two main lessons: First, while practically every model used to predict organizational change is linear, the world isn’t. Leaders must do everything they can to ensure their organizations embrace and move towards positive tipping points. Second, a relatively small number of people can have a huge impact. Dr. paula Burns provost & Vice president academic recommends... how remarkable women lead: The breakThrouGh model For work and liFe by Joanna barsh and susie cranston dr. roberta bondar recommended this book to me during her visit to NAIT last year as part of the Women in Technology initiative to encourage female enrolment in technical fields. This book is for those who love their family and love their work! It offers real stories of real women with tremendous personal journeys in life and leadership. Out of its stories emerge what the authors call the five elements of centred leadership: meaning, framing, connecting, engaging and energizing. Each element is one I relate to and believe in. And, in case you are wondering if this book is for women only – absolutely not. mave Dhariwal operations manager nait shell manufacturing centre recommends... The GreaTneSS Guide by robin sharma survival in today’s competitive marketplace demands that organizations use lean principles to improve their productivity. The NAIT Shell Manufacturing Centre has been designed to help organizations do just that. I’m always looking for resources to include in our training programs and The Greatness Guide provides many nuggets of wisdom. It includes a lot of common-sense ideas we often take for granted. It’s also an easy read and the lessons learned can be applied immediately to improve ourselves and our organizations. Dr. Klay Dyer associate chair bachelor of technology in technology management recommends... The SmarTeST GuyS in The room: The amazinG riSe and ScandalouS Fall oF enron by bethany mcLean and peter elkind although already eight years old, McLean and Elkind’s The Smartest Guys in the Room still remains an intensely relevant read. A definitive study of (the absence of) corporate and workplace ethics, it is also a compelling reminder of the dangers of unchecked ambition and human weakness, as we watch core values such as respect and integrity quickly give way to hubris, rampant self-delusion and greed. web extra Scan this QR code for leadership tips with NAIT president Dr. Glenn Feltham or visit <strong>techlife</strong>mag.ca/leadership-101.htm.

Jodi Howick chair occupational health and safety recommends... 10-10-10: a FaST and PowerFul way To GeT unSTuck in love, aT work and aT home by suzy welch this book is more than another approach to time management. The process that Welch puts forth is ultimately mindful decision making: evaluating short-, mid- and long-term impacts of your options while considering your personal purpose and values. She calls it “an approach to dilemmas that empowers people to create more deliberate, centered and authentic lives.” I would sum it up by saying it’s a way to find balance without guilt. v4.2 2011 13
