Amazing leaders have many exceptional habits - one of them is surprisingly simple, reading.
Warren Buffet estimates he spends 80% of his time reading, and Mark Cuban is known for reading up to 3 hours a day.
A study performed in US News & World Reports included 1,200 of the world's wealthiest people and found one surprising commonality they were all avid readers.
The most successful people learn how to produce a result.
We've all heard the term leaders are readers, but is there more we're missing to the puzzle of continuous learning?
Before we rush to add more books to our list this year, let's explore a bigger question.
How do we turn what we read into actions that produce results?
Joining us to explore The Action Path is the Founder and CEO of Read It For Me, Steve Cunningham.
Steve has read over 2000+ books and has learned critical lessons that open the mind and compel you to take action.
As an avid reader myself, I'm thrilled to connect you with the founder of a company that has made it possible for high performing leaders to hone their craft and take action on the way you execute on your professional and personal development.
We’ll explore:
- Why reading is critical to the success of top performers.
- Reading is only one part of the equation. What is the other?
- How to help your team(s) read more books based on their skills and gaps.
You’ll discover:
- Why information doesn’t equal transformation.
- How to translate what you’re learning into new behaviors.
- Why you shouldn’t adopt someone else’s reading list.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
