Why read? and Three Ways that Every Leader Can Experience a Thousand Lives
Recently, we talked about the power of reading lists for aspiring leaders, which offer curated selections that help enhance knowledge. However, we both agreed that many lists lack the crucial “why” behind each book’s inclusion. So, we decided to take a different approach—sharing the reasons behind why each book is important for leadership development.
To kick things off, we chose the classic The Leadership Challenge: How to Make Extraordinary Things Happen in Organizations by Kouzes and Posner. Now in its 7th edition, this book has served as a foundation for countless other leadership resources. It's a must-read for anyone committed to personal growth and effective leadership.
Join us as we dive into the wisdom of The Leadership Challenge and explore why this book should be at the top of every leader’s reading list. Let’s unlock the potential the Leaderhip Challenge offers for growth, inspiration, and transformation together.
