Harry Truman once said, “Not all readers are leaders, but all leaders are readers.”

There’s no better time to relax with a good book than in the summer-- or a better time to tackle a few books that could make you a better recruiter. But you don’t always have to read books on recruiting to become better at your job. In that spirit, we've compiled a quick list of what the Doximity Client Success team has on the docket for good reads- things we believe are making us better at our day to day. 

Whatever your summer has in store and whatever your preference might be - we hope you enjoy some of our latest, favorite reads, whether you’re on the beach, the porch, or you just have a quiet minute at home.

Shawn Sheridan:
Book: “Built to Last”
What’s it About: Drawing upon a six-year research project at the Stanford University Graduate School of Business, Collins and Porras look at eighteen truly exceptional and long-lasting companies.
Shawn’s Thoughts: This book will show you what creates lasting and successful organizations. Filled with great ideas of what you can apply to your teams, highlight in your recruitment efforts & focus on to make your organization one that is “Built to Last”.

Erika Anderholm:
Book: “The Obstacle Is The Way: The Timeless Art of Turning Trials Into Triumph”
What’s it About: The book draws its inspiration from stoicism - the focus on things you can control, letting go of everything else, and turning new obstacles into opportunities.
Erika’s Thoughts: Insightful read on how to turn frustrating and challenging situations into success stories. Allows you to be self-reflective and use the insights and stories to help recognize how you can succeed & become a positive force in any situation.

Erin Eleuterio:
Book: “Tripping Over The Truth: How the Metabolic Theory of Cancer is Overturning One of Medicine’s Most Entrenched Paradigms” 
What’s it About: For anyone affected by this terrifying disease and the physicians who struggle to treat it, this book provides a fresh and hopeful perspective.
Erin’s Thoughts: Fascinating historical account of how cancer has been misunderstood as a genetic disease when it’s been shown to be a metabolic disease. A definite must read for anyone working in healthcare. 

Sarah Harris:
Book: “Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less”
What’s it About: The Way of the Essentialist isn’t about getting more done in less time. It’s about getting only the right things done.
Sarah’s Thoughts: In the busy recruitment world, it can often feel like there is too much to do and not enough hours in the day. Essentialism is a quick read that may change your perspective that doing less, more focused work is actually doing more and not to sweat the small stuff.
