5 books every leader should read twice. Once when you’re starting out. Again when it gets heavy. These are the ones I keep coming back to. 1. Necessary Endings by Dr. Henry Cloud 2. People Fuel by Dr. John Townsend 3. ReLeader by Dr. Jon Chasteen 4. The Five Dysfunctions of a Team by Patrick Lencioni 5. Decisive by Chip Heath & Dan Heath #offtheshelf #leadership #leadfromhere #bookrecs #lead

What’s one book you think every leader should read this year?

I just finished King Sorrow by Joe Hill. Phenomenal book. Really good. Most of the time, there’s an audiobook playing in my car. Commutes turn into classrooms. Long drives turn into thinking time. Growth doesn’t always happen in big moments. Sometimes it happens between meetings, between jobs, between plays. What’s the last book or audiobook that really stuck with you? 📚👇 #Leadership #ContinuousLearning #GrowthMindset #Entrepreneurship

📖 By the Book… But Understand It 📖 I believe in doing things by the book. I try to live that way every day. But I don’t believe in doing it word for word without thinking. When you get caught up in just repeating the words, sometimes you lose the meaning. You lose the why. It’s not just about reading instructions — it’s about understanding them. Understanding what they’re telling you to do, and why it matters. Because when you truly understand something, you can actually use it. You can adapt it. You can make it work in the real world. So do it by the book — just make sure you’re not just reading it. Make sure you’re learning from it. #ByTheBook #UnderstandTheWhy #LearnDontRepeat #ThinkDeeper #ApplyWhatYouLearn

Fast reading culture is loud. 📚 Book counts. Monthly totals. “I read 100 books this year.” And with social media in your face 24/7, the pressure to keep up is real. But here’s the shift: Reading isn’t about speed. It’s about retention. It’s about application. It’s about growth. There’s nothing wrong with reading 10 books a month. There’s also nothing wrong with spending 6 months on one that rewires how you think. Real personal development happens when ideas stick. When a book changes how you lead, decide, train, parent, live. 📖 Read widely. 📖 Read deeply. 📖 Ignore the comparison trap. If you care about leadership, professional development, mindset, and lifelong learning… this is your reminder. 👇 What’s one book that actually changed your perspective? #ReadToLead #PDlikeyouPT
