A long but very readable book on Ulysses Grant who is being rediscovered as a leader in the last few years. I have previously read Ronald White's recent book on Grant. Both fit together nicely to give you a wonderful portrait of an amazing leader. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a3730bc0abd0420bf59885c/1518812509746-IAXA7YS2D4ZD2C1FEDKX/Grant.jpg Edit Book Recommendations - Grant by Ron Chernow Ron Chernow's Grant.

In a perfect world I would teach an entire seminar on Machiavelli and Caro. This recent book places Machiavelli within Florentine culture brilliantly. At times, Machiavelli was seen as evil. Yet his insights about power, influence, and leadership in books like The Prince have incredible staying power. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a3730bc0abd0420bf59885c/1518810547119-AI3ADVJHEZJXY3XTC4AP/Fox.jpg Edit Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a3730bc0abd0420bf59885c/1519849376453-UTGYZNSDALZD3NH7DOFF/the-marshall-plan-9781501102370_hr%2520website_0.jpg Edit Book Recommendations - The Marshall Plan by Benn Steil In the last few years I have become interested in things our nation has done wonderfully. Too many people complain about all of our problems. But the US has done amazing things. One is the Marshall Plan. In the late 1940s the United States spent, in today's dollars, over $100 billion helping Europe get back on its feet after the Second World War. This book tells that story--all of the politics and challenges proponents faced. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a3730bc0abd0420bf59885c/1520801578368-ZWQX7UBZF9VQ51T27AY8/51-WK60np9L__SX327_BO1%2C204%2C203%2C200_.jpg Edit Book Recommendations - The Age of Charisma by Jeremy Young This is a delightful academic book on how personal magnetism and charisma became so important in political dialogues in the United States. It focuses on the late 19th and early 20th century yet everything you read in the book seems applicable to today. https://www.johnadaly.com/edit-dr-dalys-books daily 0.75 2018-03-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a3730bc0abd0420bf59885c/1520022767232-AL29GY34KVOOE0XPUODH/Advocacy.jpg Edit Dr. Daly's Books - Advocacy: Championing Ideas and Influencing Others My favorite book.

While most think of him in terms of his service to founding the nation, he was, actually, first and foremost, a scientist. There are many wonderful books about Franklin but Walter Isaacson’s book remains a personal favorite. It is filled with little nuggets about Franklin, the person, the scientist, and the statesman. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a3730bc0abd0420bf59885c/3ef9c958-7243-4e74-9618-bad0429448d1/Screen+Shot+2023-02-27+at+2.51.46+PM+%282%29.png Book Recommendations - Make it stand out Pfeffer teaches a very popular class at Stanford on power in work settings. This is a brief but very well done book offering specific research-based advice about what you can do, everyday, to have more influence in your workplace. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a3730bc0abd0420bf59885c/f4758931-0533-4766-ae80-3bfbb2cf45a9/2+2.png Book Recommendations - Make it stand out What was Hillary Clinton going to say had she won the election? Why and how did John Lewis change the speech he gave in 1963 during the March on Washington? What if D-Day had failed? What would Eisenhower have said? Jeff Nussbaum wrote a fascinating book on speeches that were written but never delivered. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a3730bc0abd0420bf59885c/cdadfc95-24d7-4cae-a9c3-6c07e796516e/2+3+2.png Book Recommendations - Make it stand out I spent a day at Greenwich last summer and finally grasped the wonder of standard time and, especially, how longitude was finally measured—and why it mattered so much. I read this book years ago but went back to it after my visit. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a3730bc0abd0420bf59885c/93194637-99a6-430b-8cb5-eab4e2b3eace/2+3+2+2.png Book Recommendations - Make it stand out The second book about the politics of standardization is by JoAnne Yates and Craig Murphy; it is a tad more dense but a wonderful historical summary. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a3730bc0abd0420bf59885c/cb42f853-cac9-4283-a60a-dae415ba643d/2+2+2.png Book Recommendations - Make it stand out When flying to Asia you often fly parallel to the Inside Passage (Vancouver to Juneau). It’s beautiful. My bucket list has me exploring the islands along that passage. Jonathan Raban passed last year but this book remains a favorite. It describes his travels by sailboat along the Passage. It’s a deeply thoughtful book. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a3730bc0abd0420bf59885c/d6f27075-9753-43e7-a933-f1f7eeac9542/2+2+2+2.png Book Recommendations - Make it stand out Chicago had a major problem in 1850. It needed sewers. Did they dig down? Nope. Instead, Chicago raised every building in the city and placed sewer pipes underneath them. Amazing! I learned this in Steven Johnson’s book. Johnson is one of my favorite writers on the history of all sorts of fascinating things, like disease, science and technology. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a3730bc0abd0420bf59885c/09d2fea3-68a9-41c5-8988-057391b5b4ff/2+3.png Book Recommendations - Make it stand out I generally avoid autobiographies of recent or current leaders. But this book, by the past, and now current, CEO of Disney is simply a fun read filled with some very practical advice for people who want to work well with others. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a3730bc0abd0420bf59885c/4a8f6d60-ac23-4b70-9d9a-3d8e3c9de825/2+2+2+2+2.png Book Recommendations - Make it stand out I have a long-time interest in the politics of standardization. Two books are recent favorites. One, by James Vincent, is a delightful read about the history of measurement. https://www.johnadaly.com/teaching daily 0.75 2023-02-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a3730bc0abd0420bf59885c/e6bf9b3e-3d57-4c7b-8708-08fee96f37d6/Daly1.jpg Teaching https://www.johnadaly.com/bio-1 daily 0.75 2023-02-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a3730bc0abd0420bf59885c/fbfce5e2-ba78-492d-af60-6a9c91736e99/1Daly_customers+and+partners.png Professional Services Bio - Make it stand out Some of my clients and partners https://www.johnadaly.com/academic-bio daily 0.75 2023-02-27 https://www.johnadaly.com/bio daily 0.75 2023-02-22 https://www.johnadaly.com/professionalservices2 daily 0.75 2023-02-21 https://www.johnadaly.com/whats-interesting-to-me-2 daily 0.75 2023-02-22 https://www.johnadaly.com/podcasts daily 0.75 2023-02-21 https://www.johnadaly.com/current-projects daily 0.75 2023-02-21 https://www.johnadaly.com/research daily 0.75 2023-02-22 https://www.johnadaly.com/new-page daily 0.75 2023-02-27 https://www.johnadaly.com/personal-information daily 0.75 2023-02-21 https://www.johnadaly.com/blog daily 0.75 2023-02-21
