I don’t often call people I’ve worked with “outstanding leaders.” In my entire career, only two people truly earned that title: Art and Mary. The Ten is a fascinating look at leaders like them—those who bring something unique and lasting to their teams, shaped by experiences that started long before their careers.
This book gets into how childhood lessons and life experiences form the foundation of great leadership. It’s not just about business success—it’s about the qualities that make leaders memorable and impactful. Each chapter tells the story of a remarkable leader, and the author’s ability to connect their early lives to their leadership philosophies is eye-opening.
The bonus video interviews are a standout feature. Watching these leaders share their stories in their own words adds a personal dimension that makes the book even more engaging.
If you’re looking to understand what makes a truly great leader—or want inspiration for your own growth—The Ten is the book to read. It made me reflect on what qualities I admire in others and challenged me to think about my own “one big thing.” Highly recommended!
