ReadingA well-stocked bookshelf or online library of resources can help keep you focused on influential leadership principles.  Books offer reminders of strategies you’ve mastered while others create inspiration for new growth opportunities.  An investment in reading offers a variety of benefits for everyone, but for those especially interested in leadership, it provides a personal outlet to hone your skills as a confident, knowledgeable, empathetic, and well-rounded leader.
