In honor of Dr. Seuss’ birthday, March has been designated as Reading Month. To celebrate and encourage reading, we are asking local officials, residents and WKTV staff and volunteers to tell us about a book that they enjoy. Happy Reading!

Today’s book selection is from TJ Norris. Norris is a financial controller for an international manufacturing company.  She is also a serial volunteer for non-profit boards and organizations and loves seeing teams work together to accomplish amazing goals.

Book: Leaders Eat Last
Author: Simon Sinek
Genre: Business/self-help

In this era of “The Great Resignation,” retaining employees can make or break a company. Sinek’s book, though originally written in 2014, is as timely today as it was then. Filled with wonderful examples of what has worked for various companies, it’s not only a book about keeping your best employees, but it is also about keeping them happy, motivated and loyal. But read a little deeper. Substitute “company” for family, church group, or civic organization, and let the “aha! moments” kick in. This book is consistently on lists of the 10 best business books and, as the author himself states, “Leaps of greatness require the combined problem-solving ability of people who trust each other.”

Take the leap into making your team better, stronger, happier.
