Business Winner: The Myth of the Nice Girl
It seems fitting in a year filled with so much bile and discord that one of our best books would be an antidote to such noise. Fran Hauser’s paean to being kind in the workplace could serve as a guidebook for any working woman, from the mailroom to the C-suite. After years of advice to avoidtoo nicegestures if they hope to do well in their careers, it's refreshing for women to hear that it's okay not to tamp down any instincts they may have toward good. Yes, it’s directed to the female side of the working world, but men, feel free to listen and heed these words, too. All corners of fluorescent-lit offices could benefit from a little more kindness. —Courtney, Audible Editor

Every leader must be ready and willing to take charge, to make hard, crucial calls for the good of the team and the mission. Something much more difficult to understand is that in order to be a good leader, one must also be a good follower. This is a dichotomy - a Dichotomy of Leadership. It is, as authors Jocko Willink and Leif Babin explained in their best-selling first audiobook, Extreme Ownership, “Simple, Not Easy”.
