Leaders are Readers

For many years Jim Paluch has talked about the importance of continuous learning being crucial in the quest for each of us being BUILDERS. One of the most important things that we can do comes down to the power of reading. When we read and experience a great book we are able to form new perspectives, grasp exciting concepts that can help us in our personal development and see what is possible.

In these challenging times one of the most important things that we can do control is the speed in which we learn and grow. Over the last couple of weeks I was able to finish two terrific books. (Outliers and Tribes) Both of these books challenge our way of thinking and provide us with terrific tools for how we improve our individual performance the performance of our team and most importantly the quality of our lives.

It is so important to look for ways that we can continue to expand our thinking and perspective. I wonder what were the top three books that most impacted you in your career. I am curious what we can learn from each other.
