Favorite Books to Reread…2
Next Generation Leader, Andy Stanley
I love leadership books. I love Andy Stanley. I love to be challenged to grow. I first read this the year I graduated college during my first real job. Man did it mess me up. The is the first of 3 Andy books that made my reread top books. One problem I have with this book is I find myself underlining every other sentence. There are so many amazing truths and principles in there that I had to get a second pen to finish the book. I’ve gone through this book numerous times and it always serves as a great refresher during down times. This is a must read for aspiring and seasoned leaders alike.
