Thinking Gray

 "A leader should always act as though he himself, not history or fate, is responsible for his actions. "

This is one of the first books I really connected with as a burgeoning leader. It was the springboard to the leader I am today. I found this book insightful. It portrays leadership from the perspective of the unknown. When you are a leader it is imperative that  a decision is not made upon request, but only when you have taken the time to ingest all of the available data. The answer is never a forgone conclusion, but one which requires listening and a thorough examination of the factors involved. There is more than one way to solve a problem and only when you think outside the room will you arrive at the best possible solution. This review gives a good summary of the book and its potential impact on the reader.
