This post presents three advantages to reading How to Lead: Wisdom from the World’s Greatest CEOs, Founders, and Game Changers. I guarantee your time will be well spent. The hardback by David Rubenstein packs a wallop.
3 Benefits:
You’ll gain insight from different types of leaders.
The author holds thought provoking interviews with six types of leaders: Visionaries, Builders, Transformers, Commanders, Decision Makers, and Masters. You hear from people like Oprah Winfrey, Condoleezza Rice, Adam Silver, Coach Krzyzewski, Melinda Gates, and Ken Griffin. As you read, think about your leadership type. Are you a builder or a transformer?
You’ll enjoy the unique format.
This book differs from traditional leadership books. Instead of theories, research, or textbook formats, How to Lead probes the minds of successful individuals. Each chapter begins with a 1-page introduction of the person. Then, the remainder of the section presents the actual interview - the questions cover family, education, milestones, and more. The back of the book contains short bios.
In addition, you can read the book in any order. Or, read it from cover to cover without jumping around. Your interests will drive where you begin.
You’ll discover what it takes to be successful.
All in all, this book contains valuable information to help you move forward. Although each of us has a different opinion about success, you cannot deny that the people are not accomplished in their area of expertise. The best way to learn about success is to study others who have attained it.
