1. Most managers (people in leadership positions) really don’t read books about leadership. Even if there was a way to find out how many managers there were in the world at any time, I’m sure that number would be way bigger than the number of leadership books sold. I ask new and current managers all the time how many leadership books they have read in the past year, and most of them, if they are being honest, haven’t read a single one. A lot of them may have actually purchased a book or two, and display it in their bookcase, but the pages don’t look like they’ve been turned.
