Many of you have read both of the books that I want to discuss today.  I read them awhile back and realized that much of what I have learned, I had forgotten or was no longer practicing.  And that was a shame.  I realized it one day when I was standing around yelling at my children - all of whom are now young adults.  Unfortunately, on that day, I was not what one would call an ideal leader.  After realizing what I was doing (or more accurately being told how much I was acting like a jerk by my wife)  I took the opportunity to go into the basement and dig out all my books on leadership and pull out the handwritten notes that I took when I read them.  I chose these two books because they were the second and third book that I read on leadership, after reading "Developing the Leader Within You".
