Leaders are readers.

Readers are leaders.

The idea for this challenge came out of my Leadership in Medicine class.  We had a speaker who shared the voracity of readership of some of our great leaders.  Many read a book a week, or even almost a book a day!  I think we can at least do a book a month.  So reading won’t automatically make us leaders, but I think it definitely couldn’t hurt.  As we deepen our experiences by the stories we read, we gain a grander view of the world.  If we share with each other those stories, this has a potential to grow exponentially!  Not that we wish to take over the world, but if we can each lead in our own small ways each day, I think we will all be better off.
