Listen Later

In our author special we meet R.Michael Hendrix, co-author of Two Beats Ahead.

For our season finale, Paul and Zoe discuss the books that will help you reset over the summer. Top of our list was Two Beats Ahead by Panos Panay and R. Michael Hendrix, a fascinating read about what we can learn from musicians, ranging from Beyonce to Pharrell Williams and David Bowie, about creativity and innovation. Yet it’s also a book about leadership and how to bring teams together to do incredible things. There is so much in this book that represents the modus operandi that leaders need to forge fresh ideas and embed new ways of working in volatile times. We’re giving away a copy of the book so listen out for the details of how to win in the episode!

Zoe and Paul also review what’s been on their summer reading list so far, including A World Without Email by Cal Newport, The Reset: Ideas to Change How We Work and Live by Elizabeth Uviebinene, How to Write One Song by Jeff Tweedy and Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro.

In addition, Zoe discusses what the findings from The Charity Digital Skills Report mean for the charity sector.

That’s it from us for Season 3. Thanks for listening. We’ll see you in the autumn for Season 4!
