Influential Thinkers:

Back in 2003 I was introduced to Gallop’s StrengthsFinder work and was quite impressed. If you’re not familiar with it, you can think of it as something like the Myers-Briggs but with a diverse set of 34 different attributes that examine what drives your personality and decision making. I loved the work because it finally gave me the words that I could use to describe to myself and others how I ticked.  My #2 theme from StrengthsFinder was Learner and it perfectly described my desire to want to learn and want to continuously improve. As an effort to try and satisfy this thirst I am continually reading (mostly non-fiction books) and find myself always going back to these great thinkers. The topics are extremely varied but I have to be honest I read very few pure “business” books because I have found them to be extremely superficial and more about soundbites than actual content. Along my “learning journey” I do occasionally come across an author that I would describe as an influential thinker, one that provides great insight or deep thinking and on a rare occasion they are both.
