The Undoing Project
Michael Lewis
CEOs are often advised to be circumspect about their own views when running a meeting, lest they suppress new ideas. But in any meeting with Henri in charge, it was immediately apparent what outcome he wanted, because he would state it up front.

Conscience and Courage
John Hawkins
Most people have a relatively easy time coming up with their top three priorities. Just ask them. As an exercise I often ask: if you can only do one thing for the rest of the year, and nothing else, what would it be and why? People struggle with this question because it is easy to be wrong, which is exactly the point. If we are wrong, resources are misallocated. That's concerning. But we avoid these pointed dialogs because it is easier to list five or ten priorities. The right ones may not even be buried in there somewhere.
