Without a doubt the most helpful leadership book that I have ever read is “The Leadership Challenge” by Kouzes & Posner. The authors have interviewed 1000s of leaders around the world and distilled effective leaders’ stories into 10 key themes of leadership. The theme that I have learnt the most from is the theme of “Find Your Voice” – What is it that is important to me? What do I care about? How can I communicate that with others in a way that carries passion?
I have read many other leadership books, but this one is a beaut!
