After reading the description, I knew that it's for leaders running organizations but I took a risk in getting it. As I am not leadership material, I thought I could learn what it takes to be a good leader. When I became a mother, I was scared of fulfilling the most challenging role in my life, and being a mother is like being a leader to a child.
H3 Leadership is written by Brad Lomenick who was the president of "one of the largest movements of Christian leaders in America, Catalyst." When his leadership went rusty, he went on sabbatical. During this time, he rekindled his relationship with God, revisited the whats, the whys, and the hows of true leadership, and realized that it was time for him to pass the baton to other leaders. He also included the insights of leaders from different organizations.
Some Golden Nuggets
Knowing yourself is the first step to become a successful leader. Your strengths and weaknesses foretells the degree of your influence. The habits to cultivate to know who you are -- self-discovery, openness, meekness, conviction, faith, and assignment.
With the habit of ambition, curiosity, passion, innovation, inspiration, and bravery, a leader can bring an organization to a greater future.
There are eight habits that can help a leader reach the organization's goals-- excellence, stick-with-it-ness, execution, team building, partnership, margin, generosity, and succession.
The three most important things I learned from this book are to know and to be true to myself, to dream and create an exciting future, and to work hard for myself and for my family.
"Be humble, stay hungry, always hustle."
After reading H3 Leadership, I was glad I didn't pass up the chance to grab this book.

Great book!
I love how Brad is so vulnerable in the book about his successes and weaknesses. He provides practical advice and has other leaders share their stories as well.

Chapter 0:
"You can teach what you know, but you'll reproduce what you are." (Nikki Gumble)
"Awareness increases as speed decreases. Most of us use the speed of life to medicate ourselves and ignore the major issues we're facing internally."
Chapter 1:
"I wanted to prove I was good enough and smart enough and capable enough to compete with others."
"Vulnerability is the birthplace of courage, innovation, creativity and change."
Chapter 3:
"What do you stand for? Which hills will you die on? What is not for sale or up for discussion?"
Chapter 4:
"A healthy spiritual life doesn't happen via osmosis. It requires intentionality and regularity."
"Where and when do you feel free to be spiritually open and receptive?"
Chapter 13:
"I don't open my email until 9am. Email gives the steering wheel of my car to someone else. When I open it, I am no longer in charge. So I wait until after I'm finished with me to help them."
Chapter 17:
"Learning to unwind is a disciple that must be practiced. You must find time to stop moving, stop working and stop problem solving."
Chapter 18:
"Leaders quite often confuse being generous with giving people money: raises, bonuses, stock options. But the generous leaders gives people what they truly want: knowledge, power, information, credit, praise, responsibility and authority."

Had some pretty decent insights but I cannot get over how full of himself Brad Lomenick sounds in his writing...

I gave up half-way through after struggling through it for weeks. I just felt like I wasn't gaining many new or helpful nuggets of information.

Some great reminders and thoughts in here. I appreciated the practical perspectives from a variety of leaders. I loved having the quick thoughts from different leaders at the end of each chapter.

I cannot say enough about how much I loved H3 Leadership: Be Humble. Stay Hungry. Always Hustle.. You need to pick up this book and read it from cover to cover. I read Brads book "The Catalyst Leader" and feel like this was a great follow up to that offering from his leadership journey. This is the most practical leadership book that you will ever put your hands on. You will find a ton of tweet-able phrases and pull-quotes that you can share with others as you read. Makes reading fun, and interactive. It was one of the best books I have read this year!
