Recommended Reading
The best leaders are constant students. These are the books our Nexus North strategists and coaches rely on—the essential reading list for any founder or executive team dedicated to escaping Loss of Focus & Burnout and achieving scalable growth.
The Infinite Game
Simon Sinek
The single most powerful concept for scaling leaders. It forces you to shift from thinking about short-term transactional wins (a "Finite Game") to building a Just Cause and a resilient organization that lasts beyond your tenure (the "Infinite Game"). Essential for defining the enduring strategy that will take you from 7 to 9 figures.
Think Again
Adam Grant
The key to escaping Operational Chaos is the ability to adapt. This book shows leaders how to build a culture of intellectual humility and curiosity. It's vital for scaling teams to learn how to actively reconsider assumptions, challenge long-held beliefs, and continuously refine the processes that drive growth.
Grit
Angela Duckworth
Scaling a company is a marathon, not a sprint. Founders often face Burnout and the loss of focus when the immediate excitement wears off. This book defines the two traits essential for long-term success: passion and perseverance. It provides the framework for leaders to cultivate these qualities in themselves and their teams.
