May was a month with not a whole lot of reading… but a month where I read one of the best books on leadership to date…
The Truth About Leadership: The No-Fads, Heart-of-the-Matter Facts you Need to Know
by James Kouzes and Barry Posner | 5 of 5 stars
This is perhaps the best book on leadership I’ve ever read (and I’ve read quite a few). In fact, it was so valuable that I gave it to our staff to read as well and as a reference for a 360-degree leadership evaluation. The majority of this book, after some reflection, seems to be fairly obvious for leadership, but seems to slip beneath the radar as the demands and stresses of leadership cloud our vision. If you are a leader you should read this book. If you lead a team of people, you should give this book to your team. It contains valuable insights, but as with any book implementation is the greatest challenge for moving forward.
