Reading
At a conference in 2011, an attendee asked me for a reading list. He never did contact me once I got home, but as a result I did put some thought into the books that have influenced my thinking about the skills leaders in health care change need. The following are an eclectic mix of neuroscience, sociology, change management in general, and health care change in specific.

Check out The Future and it’s Enemies by Virginia Postrel. She was a previous editor of Reason magazine.
As for blogs, check Marginal Revolution if not already doing so. A buffet of interesting stuff.
And most importantly, will Peyton be a Bronco?!?!
