Please Note: You will not be referring to these readings in this module’s discussion or assignment. The reading requirements are quite high for this course so I am recommending that you distribute the reading over each week in order to distribute the workload. Please allocate your time wisely.
Weeks 2 & 3 – this book is used in two modules/weeks so I encourage you to get a head start on your reading and re-reading This is a great book packed with so much useful information. I have re-read this book many times.
Patterson, K., & Grenny, J. (2013). Influencer: The power to change anything, Second Edition. McGraw-Hill Education.
Week 4 – the ideas in this book (referred to as 4DX) complement the ideas in the Influencer so you will want to fully grasp the influencer before you start on 4DX

Supplementary Text:
The following are supplementary text that I have read and encourage you to read as well but they are not required. We will be dealing with Sinek’s Why, What and How in module/week 1 but his TED talk provides enough information to enable you to complete the assignment. We will also be looking at Pink’s Drive RSA Animate video which summarizes his book. Another great read but the video provides an excellent summary. If you like all the details you will want to get the book. The key ideas in the video Friedman’s Theory of Differentiated Leadership Made Simple are found in Friedman’s Failure of Nerve.
