5 Leadership Books To Read In August 2023

We’re halfway through summer and that means plenty of vacations and beach days are yet to happen. If you’re blessed to live in a beach town such as mine or along the coasts, you know what I’m talking about. There’s something about sitting at a beach with a good book to read (I don’t do this nearly enough).
