Description
Not all readers are leaders, but all leaders are readers. - Harry S. Truman. As leaders, we are avid learners and readers.  And some of the best insights come from getting different perspectives whether it be from biographies of great leaders from the past or present or research that relates to our industries or completely divergent learning that enhance our perspectives of the world.   Aside from travel, reading is one of the most impactful things we can spend time on to enhance the quality of our thinking and leadership. We all have favourites, but these 9 books are constantly at the top of our lists and the lists of the CEO’s and Executives we work with.   In this episode we discuss the 9 books that every CEO (and executive) must read. ----- * Do you love The Growth Whisperers and want to see our smiling faces?
