Recommendation

Leadership consultant Victor Prince took a month-long sabbatical to hike across northern Spain as a pilgrim on El Camino de Santiago – the Path of Santiago. He describes many ways the Camino changed his perspectives on life and leadership – and he outlines how you can experience a similarly transformative process that will inspire how you lead. Drawing on personal experiences and interviews with nearly 100 other pilgrims, Prince clearly and deftly blends his travelogue with management advice in the form of “seven simple leadership lessons.” He also provides a “How to Do This at Work” section for each lesson. getAbstract recommends this captivating read to armchair travelers and to those seeking to enhance their leadership skills through personal growth.

Take-Aways

  • El Camino de Santiago, the Path of Santiago, is a 500-mile pilgrimage route to the tomb of St. James in northwest Spain. A French bishop made the first pilgrimage in 950 AD.
  • In 2013 alone, nearly 216,000
    peregrinos – or pilgrims – made the trek to the shrine.
  • During his month-long El Camino hike, author Victor Prince averaged 15 miles a day. The experience was a life and “career game changer” for him.

    A great final reading for the 7day challenge! We all are on our own “Camino” and is our life. How we live, but how we serve, help and care for others will be a key think for our truly leadership. Totally agree with the rules! Excellent guide #StayOnTrack #getAbstract

    The hard part is putting the lessons into practice since no one else read the same book.
