Which business book is having most impact on companies right now? In my anecdotal experience it is Carol Dweck’s book Mindset about how to reframe your thinking towards a relentless pursuit of betterness.

Spending time with the Microsoft teams at their head offices in Redmond, USA, I am constantly amazed at how many technology people have been liberated by CEO Satya Nadella’s crusade to introduce a growth mindset, as Dweck coined it. Not to seek mere iteration and optimisation, but to explore and experiment, to constantly find new ways to grow your self and your business.

There are so many great female thinkers around – personally I’m inspired by the likes of Rachel Botsman on rediscovering trust, Nancy Duarte on the power of design, Whitney Johnson on reinventing yourself, Charlene Li on the power of communities, and Rita McGrath on innovative strategy.

When I look at the Thinkers50 ranking of the top business thinkers, women are sprinkled across the rankings, but still not significantly enough. As a second anecdotal experience, when I walk into organisations it does seem that women in leadership roles are much more open to new ideas, new ways of working, than men.
