#40 Don’t Let Your Books Die on the Shelf: Building a Reflection System for Leaders

Episode notes

Welcome to the 3x5 leadership podcast ― a show dedicated to making more intentional leaders regardless of role, rank, or responsibility because we believe that better leaders and build a better world. The reality is, however, that you cannot successfully and sustainably pour into others from an empty cup. So, how do you keep your cup full as a leader? This show aims to help by filling your cup with simple, practical strategies so you can live, lead, and learn more intentionally. You can listen to the episode on Apple and Spotify ! A proactive leader isn’t just invested in the growth of their team—they’re also committed to their own personal development through continuous reading and learning. If you consider yourself a “lifelong learner,” you probably have a list of books you can easily recall and recommend, or at least keep written in a notebook somewhere. But here’s the question: how many of those books have truly had a profound impact on your leadership and life? In this episode, we’ll focus on the self-improvement you’re already pursuing through reading—and show you how to make that learning more impactful, memorable, and relevant across all areas of your leadership.
