CARRIÈRE

One of the greatest enablers of developing your leadership style and effectiveness is to be an active reader. Reading books on leadership exposes you to new ideas, inspires you when you are discouraged, and helps build empathy. This podcast will provide recommendations for books related to leadership development based on the extensive inventory I have read over my 33 year leadership journey.

Leaders Read! Podcast Introduction

For developing leadership acumen and effectiveness, I am a huge believer in the benefit of establishing a habit of reading books. Over my 30+ year leadership career, I have read over 100 books focused on leadership and personal development. As we launch this podcast, the intent is to share some of my book recommendations from this list. In this episode, I make the case for being a regular reader, make some suggestions on how to make reading a personal habit, and explain how I will present each book I discuss.
