Leadership

Who Read it? Pat Carroll, President PCR Business Systems. (Pat read the book first, and then purchased copies for the PCR leadership team to read as well).

Why I Liked It:
Leadership was written by the CEO of Akron Children’s Hospital, Bill Considine. I read (and listen to) a lot of books on business and it is nice to find one written by someone I know in my hometown. I’ve always been amazed that Bill became the CEO of Akron Children’s Hospital in his 30s, and the explosive growth that has taken place since. When I heard he wrote a book, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it. At about 100 pages, Leadership is a quick read, with 11 chapters focusing on how to be a better leader.

What I Learned
I took away a list of items that I need to work on all the time.

1. Leadership is what you do. It is not a title, who you know, or who you are. It takes effort to lead and one bad day can cause a lot of damage.
2. Leaders dream and know how to make their dreams come true. They communicate those dreams to all to make them reality.
3. Leading means modeling the way forward, never having a bad day, and proving that you put your duties of leadership to others before self.

Let me send you a copy!
