READ to LEAD

One of the ways Mason City Schools' Executive Team grows greatness together is by exploring articles and books that shape our thinking and conversations. We #ReadtoLead - and often begin our meetings with a reading, journal our own self-reflections, and then alot time to learn from each other and align our vision. 
 
Over the last 5 years, here are some key books that have been especially impactful for our organization: Atomic Habits by James Clear, Big Potential by Shawn Achor, Measure What Matters by John Doerr, Team of Teams by Gen. Stanley McChrystal, The Leadership Challenge by James Kouzes and Barry Posner, The Power of Moments by Chip Heath and Dan Heath, and True North by Bill George.
