Read Less More
“Leaders are Readers”
A definite characteristic of highly effective leaders is that they are avid readers, that’s why serious leaders who are serious readers build personal libraries dedicated to how to think.
Abraham Lincoln used to walk miles to borrow books which he would read by candlelight afetr working long days. An article by the New York times talks about the reading habits of some very prominent people such as Phil Knight (founder of Nike Inc.) and Michael Moritz (the venture capitalist responsible for backing such respected compaines as google and yahoo). These leaders make reading an indispensable part of their life and business. Leaders who read are highly positive, creative and exude confidence and competence.
In my constant search for blogging material I find myself doing a lot of reading – as many as 3 or 4 books at any one time. I’ve recognized the importance or reading for a while now, but despite that knowledge I can’t say I had ever really fellen in love with the concept. If you can relate or are just in need to read through a lot of material in a short period of time here is a great resource that helps you read faster and retain the information better, its called Read Less More. It almost sounds too good to be true but it really does work. Give it a try!
I’ve found that by developing the habit of reading, even just a little bit, but every day, you will start to enjoy it. Your thinking will sharpen, you’ll increase your knowledge and you will become a more interesting person.
Respectfully,
Adriano
