In this episode, Shawn Campbell walks through Chapter 8 of The Mission of Leadership, explaining why effective leaders must be committed to readers. Drawing on his experience reading 30+ books in a year during his time at Harvard’s Kennedy School, Shawn shares how reading accelerated his learning, sharpened his strategic thinking, and improved his decision-making as a senior leader. He also explains why reading alone isn’t enough—leaders must apply what they learn, share insights with their teams, and model curiosity by making learning visible through habits like scheduled reading time and monthly reflections.
