Inklings

I'm addicted to books. According to Umberto Eco I am building an anti-library, meaning I own way more books than I have read. I love good fiction, literature, theology, Biblical studies, philosophy, children's books, and lots more.

Lions Don't Need to Roar: Using the Leadership Power of Personal Presence to Stand Out, Fit in and Move Ahead

Lions Don't Need to Roar: Using the Leadership Power of Personal Presence to Stand Out, Fit in and Move Ahead - D.A. Benton As someone else has already commented this book has an awful and dated cover. Oh well, cover it up. I got this book at Goodwill for 50 cents, and it was a great bargain. Yes, this is one of those leadership books that focus on the business world, namely CEOs, so this is a very market oriented view of leadership. Still Debra Benton gave me some good advice for expressing myself rightly if I want to be taken seriously as a leader. Simple, concrete ideas to help convey authority. For some people things like this are second nature. For some of us, we have to work at them.
