Academy DTEK Must-read for True Leaders

Personal development is an essential component of learning, and it is books that teach us to think critically and systematically, analyze information, and pick out the gist of the matter.  And books from the experts are an effective source of systematized knowledge, competencies, and development of cognitive function.

Academy DTEK has supported the KBU AWARDS Book Award and participated in ‘The Best Ukrainian Books to the Best Ukrainian Libraries’ initiative.  Academy DTEK donates to the largest regional libraries in Ukraine 100 copies of the book by Yevhen Bondarenko, Media Group Ukraine HR Director, titled A Successful Leader.  50 everyday tools that work.

On this occasion, we share with you our must-read list for true leaders:   

Cal Newport, Digital Minimalism: Choosing a Focused Life in a Noisy World

One of the factors affecting the educational process now is the information fatigue syndrome.  Because of this, it is important to be able to manage the information flows around us.  The main idea of this book is how digital minimalism makes our lives better.  You will receive tips and practical tools on how to get rid of digital addiction.

Peter Weill, What's Your Digital Business Model?:  Six Questions to Help You Build the Next-Generation Enterprise

Almost all companies are now in the process of digitalization and digitization. The book describes the method of building digital business models. The main idea of the authors is that digitalization makes companies move from creating added-value chains to ecosystems and gain deeper understanding of the needs of end users.  The book contains six questions, the answers to which will help you understand what stage of digitalization your company is now at, and what next steps should be taken for a better and faster digital transition.

Dan Ariely, Predictably Irrational:  The Hidden Forces that Shape Our Decisions

A very interesting book in which the author argues that irrationality is predictable, and talks about the hidden motives of our behavior, as well as that of the customers, partners, colleagues, etc.  The book will be of interest to marketing and sales professionals, as well as to people interested in psychology.

Stephen R. Covey, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

One of the best books on personal development, personal effectiveness, and effective interaction skills. In this book you will find not only the description of the seven habits of highly effective people, but also the information on the eternal principles that shape our value system, as well as the explanation of why it is extremely important to engage in personal development.

David Rowan, Non-Bullshit Innovation:  Radical Ideas from the World’s Smartest Minds

The fast development of new technologies and artificial intelligence requires us to be more flexible, innovative, and to think outside the usual paradigms. Most companies have already begun the transformation process. Often, it all comes down to automating individual business processes, but does not affect the work globally.  However, some digitalization decisions are ingenious, and manage to rebuild the process completely. To find them, David has made 130 flights and met with the founders of startups, such as  WhatsApp, LinkedIn, Google, Didi, Spotify, Xiaomi, Nest, and Twitter.
