Leadership Gold

The IPS Leadership Academy just completed reading the book "Leadership Gold." And, their mentors read along with them. Many of the lessons on leadership were refreshers of things we already knew and practice, others challenged our thinking.

A few of the lessons include "loaning your influence," "sending you ducks to eagle school," and "summarizing your life in one sentence."

When you see one of the Leadership Academy participants or a member of the Leadership Team, ask them about their most significant take-away from the book. I recommend it to all our staff. It is worth your while. And, while you're at it, ask them about the new book we are reading, "Strengths Based Leadership."
