There's no time to read all of them, even if you wanted to do so. Here are five suggestions for leadership.
1) Make leadership a priority.
Leaders "do things the right way." That means being positive, punctual, and people-oriented ("take care of your teammates").
2) Leadership is service.
It's asking "how can I help?" That might be simple, boring, "unrewarding" tasks like setting up and breaking down equipment. "Leave the gym in better condition than you found it."

3) Keep a leadership journal.
Write down opportunities that you had to lead and how you responded. Sometimes that can mean noticing a player 'struggling' or 'off their game' and letting them know that you believe in them.
4) Keep it simple.
- Be positive.
- Be punctual.
- Model excellence.
- Treat everyone well.
- Never "kiss up and kick down."
- Strive to be the hardest worker, as in "don't cheat the drill."
- "Show up" every day.
5) Be the standard.
Regardless of whether you're at the top of the food chain or at the bottom, be your best every day. Do what you're supposed to do when you don't feel like it. Avoid doing what you shouldn't do when others are or you want to.
It's not rocket science. Take care of your business.
