My first agency manager, Ray, always encouraged us to be readers. Two of my favorite “Ray Sayings” are “Readers are Leaders and Leaders are Readers”<\/em> and “When you’re green you grow. When you’re ripe you rot.”<\/em> While I’ve always been a reader, his encouragements have often steered me to books that can help me grow professionally. I recently finished reading such a book.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>A Leaders Gift: How to Earn the Right to be Followed<\/em><\/strong> is one of the best leadership books I have read. Barry Banther uses just the right mix of how he had to learn about the 5 Gifts of Leadership the hard way along with real world examples where the 5 Gifts have helped leaders succeed and earn the right to be followed.<\/p>\n

Looking back at the Great Leaders I have had the privilege of knowing, I find that each practiced the 5 Gifts, perhaps knowingly, perhaps unwittingly; but, practice them they did. This is what made them Great Leaders.<\/p>\n

If you have any desire to become a Great Leader, this book is a must read!
