Do you have a favorite leadership book?
As an avid reader, I tend to favor books on leadership. Throughout my coaching years and consistently reading at least 15 minutes every day, I have come across some fantastic books on leadership. I am challenging each one of you to read one book over the next 30 days to help develop your leadership skills. Feel free to reach out to me on social media and tell me the title and give a review.
