There might not be any one surefire practice for making successful leaders, but reading has been a time-honored tradition of good leaders across the centuries.

I most often consider a phrase from the U. S. Naval Academy’s Midshipman’s Prayer: “Let my uniform remind me daily of the traditions of the service of which I am a part."

Leadership isn't only learned in business school. It is taught by every officer and every NCO in every minute and every hour of every day, in every action, every word, every deed, and every circumstance.
