This leadership journey is more than just reading books. It’s about creating a foundation for success. What’s excites me more about the books is HOW they were chosen. While I’m sure that a quick Google search would have yielded more than enough resources for my “Top 12” list, I opted not to go for the easy route.

I wanted recommendations by leaders who have seen success in their careers. Leaders who engaged in new opportunities, focused on continuous learning, built teams and cultures that drive success, evolved their style with the changing environment of business, and stayed true to their passions.

The first book I chose to kick off my Leadership Series was True North by Bill George. Bill George is best-known as the former CEO of Medtronic, where the company’s market cap grew from $1.1 billion to $60 billion during his tenure. When I first encountered this book through a leadership program, I was an emerging leader within a hospital-system. This time, I was in a completely different place in my leadership journey, so I was excited to see if there were any takeaways I missed the first time around. Short answer…ABSOLUTELY!!! Quick summary for those who have never worked through the book personally:

  • It is never too late or too soon to step-up to leadership
  • Knowing yourself is so important
  • Engage people’s hearts and minds behind the organization’s purpose, rather than behind an individual leader
  • There is no perfect model that you can build to make a leader
  • The journey to finding your True North is about discovering your authentic leadership
