25 Books on Leadership

I was recently introduced to LibbyApp and it completely changed my reading game. You enter your library card number, and boom, you have access to all of the audio books and e-books your library has to offer, right in the app.

I ripped through all of the books I had on my “I wish I had time to read this” list, and was hungry for more.
