 The Checklist Manifesto

This month’s selection for the Mastermind Book Club, The Checklist Manifesto.

Atul Gawande tells riveting stories to deliver the idea that we work better, minimize mistakes, and achieve more when we work with checklists.

This is a great book for anyone who wants to accomplish more with fewer missteps and better outcomes.

Every month, Ted Prodromou and I select a great book to read. We meet on the fourth Thursday at 2:30 p.m. ET. You don’t have to read the book to attend and join the conversation. But you have to join the club (it’s free) to get the invitations and zoom link.

Words to Ponder

“Differences are not intended to separate, to alienate. We are different precisely in order to realize our need of one another.”
