The Checklist Manifesto by Atul Gawande, a physician, is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in reducing costly errors in their practice as well as their personal lives.
Dr. Gawande is a well credentialed practicing surgeon who is associated with a number of well known health organizations including the Harvard School of Public Health and the World Heath Organization. This easy read is interesting and entertaining with a powerful message about a simple idea. What is the idea? The humble checklist can make significant improvements in outcomes in any number of endeavors including medicine, law, finance, business to name a few.
What’s the message? Don’t be stubborn or arrogant when it comes to getting best results. That includes profit too. Determine how best to create, introduce and use checklists in your practice and your life.
This book is on my recommended list.
