Professional Development Books

Book cover of Sparking Creativity by Barry KudrowitzIf you need to learn how to communicate more diplomatically, communicate data more effectively, or come up with a creative solution, the library recently acquired three books to help you develop some of these professional “soft skills.”  

Are you preparing data visualization components for an upcoming presentation or report? The author of Seeing with Fresh Eyes calls legends in line graphs “coffins of dead conventions.” They take up valuable real estate in the graph and force the reader to briefly memorize a color-code that has no practical durability. Tofte asserts that graphs are often more readable with content-responsive labels.  

Are you looking for a way to communicate more diplomatically? The author of Say What you Mean in a Nice Way, shares practical tools to communicate assertively (but not aggressively) and tactfully with compassion, kindness, and civility to turn uncomfortable conversations into constructive communication – especially online. 

Are you trying to solve an intractable problem, but keep getting stuck? Sparking Creativity: How Play and Humor Fuel Innovation and Design is written by a professor at the University of Minnesota and includes scholarly research to illustrate methods for incorporating humor and play into the design process to produce creative solutions. 

Please contact us with questions, for research assistance, or to borrow these books and reports or any of the other materials on this month's list: library@lrl.mn.gov or 651-296-8338.
