It is often said that leaders are readers which I believe is true.
Because leaders lead, they need to be on the cutting edge of new ideas and strategies for their areas of work. This means they should constantly be attending conferences, reading books, and listening to teachings.
In 2011 I kept a list of books I read so I could share them with you. Here's a list of the books I read in 2011.
