I have decided to read the book "Leadership the Eleanor Roosevelt Way" to gain some inspiration on female leadership. I am so far impressed with the book and how it is laid out. It is a biography of Ms. Roosevelt and how those events in her life shaped her leadership style and how one can let the events in their life affect their leadership style as well. Each chapter is a different topic about leadership, such as "Find Mentors and Advisers", "Find Your Leadership Passion", and "Never Stop Learning", and how Mrs. Roosevelt did all of these things throughout her life in her quest to become one of the greatest female leaders of our time.
I chose this book because I wanted to read something about female leaders and I really admire Mrs. Roosevelt and thought there would be no one better to learn from when it comes to leadership. So far that has certainly been the case. From the first chapter, the author tells the reader of all the personal struggles Mrs. Roosevelt went through as a child (a bad relationship with her mother, orphaned by age 10, sent abroad to boarding school, etc.) and how she let these events advance her life, not hold her back. I think she is a really amazing woman and I can't wait to see what else the book can teach me and how I can use her tips to improve my leadership as well.
