Nothing improves your leadership like experience. Since you can only experience so much yourself, learning from a range of experienced, successful leaders is essential. Lessons from Leaders brings you just that. Common threads through all of their stories teach fundamentals. Unique elements teach you what a leader brings him or herself because leadership is personal. Lessons from Leaders brings you masters to learn from.

Joshua SpodekPhD, MBA, author, Leadership Step by Step and host, This Sustainable Life podcast

I grew up with hard, "tough-love" leaders. They taught me no matter what was going on around me, I should always "do my best." In so many different ways and from so many different voices, Lessons from Leaders not only reinforces that message but also provides specific direction on how to do it. Timely advice given everything we have been through in 2020.

Chenille PennixLine chef, Old Chatham Golf Club

The following compilation of insights, gathered from an array of leaders playing different roles across society over the past few years, points to some of the ageless principles leaders everywhere need to stay in touch with during these truly challenging times. If you are a leader who is up to something big in this world, you would be wise to, at the very least, disrupt yourself by taking on some of their ideas.
