What keeps leaders from developing other leaders? This is a pretty sticky subject, but there might be a real answer (even if we don’t really like what it is). So what is it? Kevin Peck and I discuss this and more on today’s episode of Reading Writers.
In this episode, you’ll hear
- What keeps leaders from developing other leaders;
- Why leaders need to be (broad) readers;
- What prevents us from being better readers; and
- The book I’m going to write to put my kids through college.
A few of the books and resources discussed in this episode
- Designed to Lead: The Church and Leadership Development by Eric Geiger and Kevin Peck
- Spiritual Leadership by J. Oswald Sanders
- The Advantage by Patrick Lencioni
- The Leadership Pipeline by Ram Charan, Stephen Drotter, and James Noel
- Being There: How to Love Those Who Are Hurting by Dave Furman

(Harry Potter and The Wingfeather Saga also received a notable shout-out, both of which have been discussed many times on the show.)
