About the Folio
I’ve always believed that talent should be the top priority for any leader. The companies I’ve led would be nothing without all the dedicated people working behind the scenes. The books I share here emphasize fortitude, character, and resilience of people in challenging times. These are qualities any leader should appreciate and champion in their teams, and in themselves.

The Gathering Storm
By Winston S. Churchill
An astonishing account of England during WWII from the British Prime Minister himself, Churchill’s memoirs serve as a portrait of the impossible choices and terrible weight of war. They are also a portrait in courage, bravery, and ingenuity in the face of seemingly overwhelming odds. I highly recommend Churchill’s memoirs to fellow leaders looking for inspiration in the face of hardship.
