Episode notes

I'm going to mention at least four books here today that I think make a pretty strong case for the importance of personal leadership. One of the things that I try to do and my work is rather than bringing our opinions about what it is that we believe to people and organizations, show me the evidence. SoHere are four sources today that Ithink make the case for personal leadership in a pretty strong way.

It's the new year and an important time to consider ourselves first, so that we can better lead others.
