Des Moines Public Library business book pick: “Breadcrumb Legacy: How Great Leaders Live a Life Worth Remembering” by Jann E. Freed.

Why you should read it: In her recently released book, leadership consultant Jann E. Freed introduces her Breadcrumb Legacy framework, an approach made up of small actions taken over time that accumulate into the legacy you leave behind. Freed stresses that legacy is not just for the rich and famous, and doesn’t happen at the end of a life or journey – it’s built over time throughout a life and career, in every communication and interaction.
