Little Miss: a father, his daughter & rocket science

by: Nathan Meikle, Dane Godwin, Stephen M.R. Covey
Little Miss: a father, his daughter & rocket science
Little Miss is the story of a two-year experiment Nathan Meikle conducted with his daughter Kyla. When Kyla was two years old, Nathan taught her to read at a kindergarten level. By age three Kyla could read at a 3rd grade level. But Nathan never thought Kyla was gifted--he's convinced that others will achieve similar results using the same techniques. Moreover, given that a small advantage early in life often leads to a large advantage later--especially in reading ability--Nathan wanted to share his experience. Little Miss is that story: how and why he taught his toddler to read.

But Little Miss is also a story within a story. In the process of teaching Kyla to read, Nathan discovered research on the benefits of reading to children. He had always known that reading to Kyla was important, but had never known exactly why. The research inspired him to find all of the best children's books--thousands in the next year--and read to Kyla daily. The more good books he found, the more they read, and the more they read, the more good books they found.

In the first year of their experiment, they went from reading 300 books per year to 3,000. Little Miss: a father, his daughter, and rocket science, is the story of how and why Nathan made such a reading jump. In addition to sharing hundreds of Nathan's and Kyla's favorite books, Little Miss shares the research that inspired him. Reading to children is the number one, most important thing parents can do to help their children become readers. And children who read the most, read the best, and stay in school the longest.

One of the greatest gifts a parent can give a child is a love of learning. In the words of Louisa Moats, "Teaching reading is rocket science."

Multipliers, Revised and Updated: How the Best Leaders Make Everyone Smarter

Multipliers, Revised and Updated: How the Best Leaders Make Everyone Smarter

A revised and updated edition of the acclaimed Wall Street Journal bestseller that explores why some leaders drain capability and intelligence from their teams while others amplify it to produce better results.

We've all had experience with two dramatically different types of leaders. The first type drains intelligence, energy, and capability from the people around them and always needs to be the smartest person in the room. These are the idea killers, the energy sappers, the diminishers of talent and commitment. On the other side of the spectrum are leaders who use their intelligence to amplify the smarts and capabilities of the people around them. When these leaders walk into a room, light bulbs go off over people's heads; ideas flow and problems get solved. These are the leaders who inspire employees to stretch themselves to deliver results that surpass expectations. These are the Multipliers. And the world needs more of them, especially now when leaders are expected to do more with less.

In this engaging and highly practical book, leadership expert Liz Wiseman explores these two leadership styles, persuasively showing how Multipliers can have a resoundingly positive and profitable effect on organizations—getting more done with fewer resources, developing and attracting talent, and cultivating new ideas and energy to drive organizational change and innovation.

In analyzing data from more than 150 leaders, Wiseman has identified five disciplines that distinguish Multipliers from Diminishers. These five disciplines are not based on innate talent; indeed, they are skills and practices that everyone can learn to use—even lifelong and recalcitrant Diminishers. Lively, real-world case studies and practical tips and techniques bring to life each of these principles, showing you how to become a Multiplier too, whether you are a new or an experienced manager. This revered classic has been updated with new examples of Multipliers, as well as two new chapters one on accidental Diminishers, and one on how to deal with Diminishers.

Just imagine what you could accomplish if you could harness all the energy and intelligence around you. Multipliers will show you how.
