Excited to see if Kenenisa Bekele can set the world marathon record tomorrow. And everyone interested should read @mphcrawley's book on Ethiopian runners --- Out Of Thin Air. It's one of the best books I've read this year. https://t.co/5Ws1OKLTKe

I’m deep into Claire Hughes Johnson’s Scaling People, which is the smartest and most useful book I’ve read on management this year.
