Each journey is read in order and carries a code for citing it in a commonplace book. Y journeys are written for young readers by age; J journeys are for adults.
↑ Back to topThe Leadership Science track and the journey Minds, Evidence & Power (J07) were built with the advice of Barry Conchie. He recommended a dozen of the journey's titles, across statecraft, cognition, neuroscience, and history, and shared his own research on leadership selection, development, and judgment under uncertainty, which shaped the track's primary readings.
Barry founded Conchie Associates after leading Gallup's global leadership research and development business, where he served as a senior scientist until 2013. He is co-author, with Tom Rath, of Strengths Based Leadership (2008) and, with Sarah Dalton, of The Five Talents That Really Matter (2024). His current research concerns decision making, heuristics, and cognitive bias.
I am grateful to Barry for his advice on the reading journey, for his generosity with his time and his research, and for the reading he has added to this library.
