The Truth About Being a LeaderThis 233-page book, while rather small in size, is chalk full of advice, one for each of the 52 weeks in our calendar. Written much like my own Free Press articles, the author first explains a leadership issue and then provides numerous solutions for the reader to consider. Topics range from assuming your first leadership role, hiring a good executive assistant to delegating and empowering employees. The solutions are practical and pragmatic. This is a quick read for busy leaders and a book that can be kept nearby as a reference, as each topic is handled totally separately.
