SOME BOOKS FOR YOUR HOLIDAY READING LIST FROM YOUR FLOCK.
SOME BOOKS FOR YOUR HOLIDAY READING LIST FROM YOUR FLOCK.
And it’s co founder… Dan Sodergren.
We have changed this list to bring in more women.
As Toby Moore rightly pointed out on LinkedIn.
“The diversity of thinking we need only changes, when the representation of ideas we get to experience changes too.”
And to be honest, we never noticed HOW many books we had that were written only by blokes. Scary.
Also please note some of these books are controversial and from authors that some of you might not like. We promise you – we at Your FLOCK (and our team engagement platform) don’t vouch for them as people or their personal opinions on everything.
But at the time – they wrote some amazing books.
Which are very relevant for now… and about employee engagement, positive company cultures, and the employee experience and how to keep your staff happy and increase employee retention – which is what we are all about at Your FLOCK.

They are also cracking books… And great ways to learn new things.
LEARNING NEW THINGS:
Events are also a great way to learn new things. So if you would like to learn about the importance of marketing and employee brand.
Then we have a great event for you on THURSDAY 28TH JULY.
With three amazing speakers. Including Gemma Ellison. Who along with a couple of other people inspired me to create the above reading list.
On this list I haven’t included any audio books. Like The Messy Middle (which is excellent) as I (Dan Sodergren) have TOO many audio books I haven’t finished.
I also don’t include in the list – any white papers or ebooks of friends of Your FLOCK like:
- Onalytica on Diversity and Inclusion in Tech.
- The Happiness Index and some of their newest findings
- This ElderMan piece all about trust.
And no podcasts like:
- Lisa Lloyd’s great business psychology podcast
- Bruce Diasley’s masterclass podcast on the future of work
- WorkLife with Adam Grant
But this is not to say they are great as well – they are.
Hope you enjoy them.
