Whatcha Readin'?

Summer was long and hot- begging to be filled with days by the beach or pool with a good book in hand.  The question at hand is this: what did you read this summer?  Did it have anything to do with Leadership?  I have been listening to John Maxwell and his Irrefutable Laws of Leadership, but the other day I picked up a new book by Tony Dungy, the famous coach.  The Mentor Leader.  It has debuted its second week out as #2 on the New York Times Bestseller List. 
Anyone who has read or heard of him knows he is a great leader and has amazing input on how to integrate leadership into your daily living.  This time he is really focusing on the idea that we are all mentors and leaders if we are either at all. 
What do you think about this idea? Can you be a leader without mentoring?  Can you mentor without leading?  I am quite eager to share his ideas with you here and look forward to covering how this ties into the new mentoring program at Fort Hays State.
