Better to learn about it from other media online.

There are thousands of books written on leadership. I don’t read them. A good leader should not need books in the 21st century. I understand why people read them, I just won’t participate.

Blogs and Twitter I do read. I can filter them, get to know the authors quickly. When reading blogs and tweets I get surprised, often, and I need that.

I was surfing Twitter recently and found the best video clip on leadership that I have seen in a while. It came courtesy of Sahim, a long-time community member at Stocktwits who has started blogging. He is good at both.

If you want to bog yourself down in books and thesis papers go ahead. You will be hard-pressed to find better, more focused information on the subject than what you'll see in this video.

If you find what you are passionate about, you can be this leader. If not, get wasted like the guy in the video and it may surface. Just make sure someone films it.
