Read to Lead: Why the Best Leaders Have Their Noses in Books Are you struggling to level up your leadership game? In this eye-opening episode, we dive into the secret weapon of legendary leaders like Warren Buffett, Abraham Lincoln, and Oprah Winfrey – they're all bookworms! Our panel of coaching experts breaks down why consistent reading isn't just helpful for leaders – it's absolutely essential. Mind-Expanding Mentorship From Warren Buffett devouring 500 pages daily to the average CEO consuming 4-5 books monthly, successful leaders are consistently feeding their brains. As one of our experts points out, reading gives you access to wisdom from people you'll never meet in person - it's like having Jocko Willink or Simon Sinek as your personal mentor! No Excuses, Only Priorities Think you're too busy to read? Our coaches challenge that notion head-on. As our coaching panel reminds us, "24 hours in every day is the only thing the good Lord gave us all an equal measure of." It's not about finding time; it's about making reading a priority. Cut just one hour of screen time weekly, and you've created space for literary growth. Brain-Rewiring Benefits Reading doesn't just provide information – it physically rewires your brain. According to our experts, physically reading and taking notes creates neural pathways that strengthen memory and enhance learning. For maximum benefit, follow up with quality sleep to cement those connections! ## The Bottom Line Leaders who stop reading stop growing. If you think you've "arrived," you haven't. If you're "too busy," you're not prioritizing correctly. Make a personal development plan that includes consistent reading, and watch your leadership capabilities soar.
