“Excuses are the nails used to build a house of failure.” (Jim Rohn)
After landing his invasion forces on the shores of some far away country, it’s been said that the sixteen-century Spanish conquistador Hernando Cortes would immediately burn his own boats.
“Not all readers are leaders but all leaders are readers.” (Harry S. Truman)We must continually learn and one of the best ways is to read books. I have previously posted some books for coaches and books for leaders. Many of these books are by very popular authors and are on most bookshelves across the nation.
However, I have put together a list of 7 books that you might not have heard of but can help you maximize your potential influence and increase your leadership skills.
“Be a star in your role, and for me, that’s high-energy, use my motor, just play hard. Play hard, be relentless on the glass. And that’s what I bring to this team. That’s my job. Just be a star in your role, and I try to do that every night.” (Tristan Thompson)Tristan Thompson’s huge double-double in Game 6 of the 2016 NBA Finals and unselfish play in all of the games helped lead the Cleveland Cavs to the World Championship. Good thing for Cavs fans and players that he didn’t pout about his boring and un-glamorous role. He might not be Lebron James, but he can now call himself a CHAMPION!
