As a leader we must continually keep growing. There are several ways to do this. You can: enroll in classes at a local University, listen to podcasts, or start teaching a leadership class. My favorite way is to read books. I try to ready about 2 books a month. Lately, I just found a new tool to help leaders keep growing and like podcasts it doesn’t cost any money just some time.
The tool is Thomas Nelson’s books for bloggers program. It is free to join. What you have to do is write a 200 word review on your blog and post it on any retail website like Amazon.com or Borders.com. There are some guidlines you must follow, but other than that is it easy peasy. In return you get advanced copies of great books from some excellent authors. What more could a leader ask for? Free leadership books!! So go check out a new book and who knows you may just set the world on fire with your Leadership skills.

Great tip, but: “write a 200 page review” – That is more than most books. Guess it is supposed to be 200 words
Thank you for the tip. I read 2 book pr month as well!
