Book Review: 9 Things a Leader MUST DO - Dr Henry Cloud

This is a follow on book from his book "Nine Things You Simply Must Do: To Succeed in Love and Life"

9 Things a leader must do is a smaller book and a good reminder. I think I enjoyed his first book more and the 9 things are basically the same, although they have different titles. I have included the titles from the first book in brackets. To me, they are simpler and easier to remember.

'9 Things a leader MUST DO' is an easy read, and covers most of the elements of the first book. If you are looking for a slightly more definitive, well sold approach I would start with "Nine Things You Simply Must Do: To Succeed in Love and Life"

The 9 things are:

1. Excavate your soul (Dig it up)- Invest time into what you are passionate about
2. Yank the Tooth (Pull the Tooth)- Do not allow negatives to take up space
3. Play the Movie (Play the Movie)- Look to the future
4. Put Superman out of a job (Do Something)- How can I make this better
5. Embrace your inner insect (Act like an Ant) - take small steps in the right direction
6. Earn a black belt in hate (Hate Well) - Hate the right things
7. Forget about playing fair (Don't Play Fair)- Give back better than you are given
8. Quit Self-Exaggerating (Be Humble)- Don't appear to be better than you are
9. Ignore the Popularity Polls (Upset the right people) - Don't make decisions out of fear of people
