For Modern Leaders

A primary role of a leader is to put the images and ideas in their head into the heads of others.

Therefore, a leader's storytelling ability matters a ton.

This is another reason why leaders should read more fiction.

Reading doesn't just put new info into your mind, but it helps you learn how to tell better stories.

I like Modular Synthesiser, MiniGrids, and Go (Baduk).

All of them highlight leaders in various circumstances ranging from Captain Ahab and his obsession with success to Hari Seldon and his long-term vision. 

And told in a way that can improve your storytelling, which was my original point.

why these? Don't get me wrong, I've read and enjoyed half of them, but what makes these the books that leaders should be reading?

should give neal stephenson a try. snow crash and seven eves are epics.
