Mark cites "The Innovator's Dilemma" revealing the crucial balance between stability and innovation.
Referring to Patrick Lencioni's Five Dysfunctions of a Team, Mark tell us, "It’s probably the one reading that changed the course of my career more than any other single thing"

The Innovators Dilemma by Clayton Christensen
Leaders Make the Future by Bob Johansen
The Five Dysfunctions of a Team by Patrick Lencioni
The Growth Mindset by Dr Carol Dweck
