Proceeds from the sale of the Resilience Summit package are being donated to the Captain John T. Vigiano FDNY Family Transport Van.
A careful examination of history’s most accomplished leaders reveals that their success was strongly correlated to a scholarly appreciation for literature, reading and reflection. Upon its formal inception in 2012, the LUF Team launched a recommended Reading List. In subsequent years many leaders in the LUF network have been inspired to form Book Clubs in their organizations, units and teams. We are hopeful that this practice continues and thought it appropriate to canvass our LUF Advisors for a few of their personal recommended reads.
