Readers Are Leaders
Readers Are Leaders… When They Apply What They Learn
As a former classroom teacher, I subscribed to the theory that those who read books and internalized what they had read would have an advantage over those who chose to learn secondhand, from the mass media, social media, and from people they worked with or knew more personally. Readers are leaders, in my thinking.
I have to say I was shocked when I learned that many teachers only read what they were required to read, and did this reluctantly. Determined to maintain my status as an avid reader, I found myself carrying my library books and owns I owned as part of my home library in plain view on most days. It was like I was asking to be considered as “different” while I obviously felt strongly about my stand on this issue.
While you may not fully agree with my precept here that most readers are leaders, you will most likely agree that all leaders are readers.
As an author of more than twenty-five books, I’ve decided to share some of my favorite books and authors with you here. And be sure to leave a comment if you have some favorite reads you’d like to share with me and the other readers who regularly read my articles and posts.
