PODCAST EPISODE #101 NOW ONLINE

The Walking Leader Podcast Episode 101 is now online. In this episode, David Guerra talks about being a leader during the time of crisis, change, the unexpected.

David talks about the importance of being a leader during the bad times not just during the good times. A leader has to remain focused and in-charge while the unexpected is unfolding. Additionally, David talks about what it takes to minimize, mitigate or lessen the impact of the unexpected to you, your leadership status, and your followers.

This episode is just under 16 minutes so plug your headphones in, pour yourself a cup of cider and take a listen…

Required Reading: 5 Books On Leadership (2017 Holiday edition)

The 2017 Holiday season is officially underway. While the holidays are the perfect for spending time with family, friends, and other loved ones, it is also time for you to go into low gear and slow things down a bit.

Slowing down should give you some time to yourself, so why not take advantage of that time to kick back and read a book or two (or five). Who knows you might learn a thing or two (or five).

Here is the list of books that I consider to be the PERFECT leadership reading during this holiday season. So pour yourself a glass of eggnog or make a cup of hot cocoa and get to reading because the holidays will be over before you know it.

U.S. Army, Frances Hesselbein, Eric K. Shinseki, Richard E. Cavanagh
