Blogs Worth Reading

I love to learn and to have my thoughts provoked.  These are the blogs I currently follow on a regular basis that help me to keep learning and growing.  I’ve referenced some of them before, but believe they are worth mentioning again.

Seth’s Blog – Seth Godin is a best selling author of a ton of books.  I do not know if he is a Christian or not, but he often stirs me to focus and think on what really matters.  Some recent posts I’ve really appreciated include What’s High School For, What’s the Point of Popular, and Hard Work vs Long Work.

Michael Hyatt’s Blog- Michael Hyatt is the Chairman of Thomas Nelson Publishers.  I’ve benefited from reading his thoughts on leadership and writing (especially online).  He gives very practical insights on the topics he writes on.  Recent posts I’ve liked include, The Most Important Question You Will Ever Be Asked as a Leader and Find Your Passion In Three Steps.

HBR (Harvard Business Review) Management Tip of the Day – I like the format of this “blog”.  They give a 30 second summary of a longer article (even those may take 5-10 minutes to read max) on some aspect of management.  Very good insights.  I often end up clicking through to the longer article, but even when I don’t, the 30 second summary is useful in and of itself.

Tim Elmore On Leading the Next Generation – I’ve really appreciated the insights Tim provides with regards to the thinking of the next generation of leaders (Gen iY he calls them).  He also provides helpful ways to engage with and equip them to take on the world they will face.  I would highly encourage parents, business leaders, church leaders, and anyone else who works with Gen iY (mid-20′s and younger) to read this blog regularly.  Some great recent blogs include Time Your Messages and 2 Types of Leaders.

Other blogs worth a look :

• tonymorganlive.com – Has helped give me insights especially with regards to church leadership
• Leading Blog – A general Christian leadership blog.  I like it because it exposes me to a wide variety of leaders and resources.
