What's on my
Bookshelf |
|
You are what you eat,
but a leader is that they read... find someone in a
leadership position with no direction, and you'll find
that they do not read - they don't get the necessary
input to inspire them. And it's not just random
reading: the old computer acronym GIGO (Garbage in,
garbage out) holds true for what leaders read.

Leaders read
- a simple fact. The effective
leader learns from the experiences of
others, and translates these in the
light of the context into direction and
action |
