Great books move, connect, and improve people. That’s why leaders need to be readers.
The more you read, digest, and apply, the more you’ll grow your leadership abilities. More than that, you’ll be able to connect with others as you discuss the principles and ideas within the books you read.
It’s one of the reasons I bring you a list of great leadership books to read every month. Here’s the books I’m suggesting you read in April 2025.

Trust and Inspire: How Truly Great Leaders Unleash Greatness in Others by Stephen M.R. Covey:
Work has changed. Unfortunately, the way most people lead hasn’t changed. They’re stuck in a previous leadership model that doesn’t work anymore.
Stephen M.R. Covey aims to help leaders change the way they lead. He wants them to move from the old style to a model that includes trust and inspire.
What does the old model look like? It’s command and control. It’s the desire to have butts in the seats.
What if there’s another model? There is. It’s one where you trust and inspire. This book is the guide to you becoming this kind of leader.
The Let Them Theory: A Life-Changing Tool That Millions of People Can’t Stop Talking About by Mel Robbins:
Have you ever felt stuck, frustrated, or angry with those you lead? We all have. There’s a new idea to lead others. Especially the difficult ones.
In The Let Them Theory, Mel Robbins presents a semi-radical idea. She states that you need to let people do what they’re going to do. Not because they’re always going to do the right thing. You Let Them because you can’t control them.
