The Secretary of Veteran Affairs has a bookshelf worth sharing…

“Throughout my education, military, and business careers; there are a few principles in which I believe deeply that drive my behavior everyday” —Secretary Bob McDonald.

Below are Secretary of McDonald’s top book recommendations that he shared with Things We Read. Many of which were books he recommended to his employees when he was the CEO of Proctor and Gamble.

“Secretary McDonald is the definition of an American servant who has dedicated his life to serving our society, both in civilian jobs and government roles. He is a personal mentor and someone who any veteran could learn a lot from. He is the epitome of a Soldier for Life.”- Chris Molaro, co-founder of Things We Read.
