Recommendation

Jim Afremow and Phil White have written an arresting book that explores the character traits and values that enable – or drive – people to become leaders. Their case histories of those who rose to leadership range widely from the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius to district fire management officer Nick Peters. The book includes the leadership journeys of Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr, Kind company founder Daniel Lubetzky and pilot Tammie Jo Shults. She was the captain of a New York to Dallas flight when engine failure led to fuselage damage and loss of cabin pressure. Shults successfully landed the plane. That’s the leader you want at the helm.

Take-Aways

  • Fire management officer Nick Peters credits the resilience of the US Forest Service to its values: “duty, integrity and respect.”
  • Coach Steve Kerr built a winning basketball team by committing to four values: “joy, mindfulness, compassion and competition.”
  • Your upbringing, mentors and experience with difficult situations help build your leadership muscles.
