Books I enjoyed

I'm wanting to become a better leader. I know this isn't a one-day game but a process of learning from my mistakes and just trying to be myself. These three books have helped a lot:

• "Who moved my cheese" - gave me a great perspective on adaptability high-performance environments often involve complex problems with no easy solutions.

• "5 levels of leadership" - I enjoyed this in-depth study of why people follow leaders - it helped me on my own journey to becoming a leader. True leadership extends beyond a title and is about influencing people in a positive direction. Advancing as a leader takes intentional effort to build relationships, drive results, and develop others (and yourself).

• "A passion for position" - unpacking Godly leadership and a serving mentality
