What leadership books are you reading? Who are you meeting with this month to stretch your mind and heart?

Video: Bill Hybel on Leadership

"I do leadership development as a discipline. I don't do it as a recreation. I read one or two leadership books a month by sheer discipline. I don't ask myself if I feel like it. I need to read--I have to take responsibility, God has given me, whatever size platform it is- big or small. I have some people I've been given charge to lead well. I have to read to get better as a leader. I'm asking you leaders, take responsibility for your leadership development and read more and read as a discipline.

I'm asking you to get around other leaders that are better than you --as a discipline, I'm not asking you to do it recreationally. Every 30 days, ask yourself who could I ask to lunch or dinner? Who can I get around who's been where I haven't' been - built something I have not yet built? How can I ask them the right questions so I can stretch my mind and heart and get better?"
