What books changed how you think?
1. Lean Thinking by Womack & Jones
This book put a framework on Toyota's production system that challenged look held assumptions about manufacturing.2. The Innovator's Dilemma by Christensen
This book always challenged assumptions following the best practices of listening to your customers and how the business systems you put in place create blind spots.3. Thinking Fast and Slow by Kahneman
This book showed me the decision making process the brain uses and the relative strengths and weaknesses of System 1 and System 2.4. Alchemy by Sutherland
This book showed me the way to frame the issues I learned about in the first 3 books mentioned here5. Honorable Mentions
