Leading with Ease: Creating a solid foundation for your leadership role by Lisa Wilson is a growth guide for those in or chasing leadership roles. The book breaks strong leadership down to its four roots: knowing yourself, your destination, your role, and how to discuss the tough stuff as a leader. It ends by putting it all together with stories as examples. Being a leader is something you get better at, and I’ve noticed myself getting less nervous when put in those roles. However, being a good leader means putting that confidence to good use. Or else you’re a leader with no followers, and just taking a walk.
