My library has a leadership program and we were asked to recommend

• books,
• journals
• articles
• blogs
• blogposts
• podcasts
• whatever

with an annotation preferably, on any topic relevant to leadership, management, customers service or other topic we think would be helpful to participants.  I went through my favorites of the last couple of years and came up with these:

• Predictably Irrational, The Hidden Forces That Shape Our Decisions
• Outliers: The Story of Success
• Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking
• Freakonomics: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything
• Here Comes Everybody: The Power of Organizing Without Organizations
• The Big Moo: Stop Trying to Be Perfect and Start Being Remarkable
• The Myth of Multitasking: How

Last year I posted a list of Movers & Shakers with a link to their blogs, so I thought why not make it a tradition.  Below are the names linking to the LJ post about them and a link to their blog/wiki/website.

Congratulations to all the Mover & Shakers! I’m amazed at how many people on this list I’ve met and how many I can call my friends. Each and everyone of them is truly amazing and deserving of this accolade.
