I certainly don’t know everything you read, but thanks to our blog statistics, I know the most read leadership blog posts I wrote this year. As I compiled the statistics, I learned something – in some cases you are watching more than you are reading. I thought I would share our top posts here – what you are reading and watching – with a couple of bonuses at the end. Let’s start with the most popular post first.

I’ve been writing leadership blog posts for 20 years. While I learn much from the process of writing them, the fact that others continue to read is largely why I keep writing. Let me know in the comments below which of these you liked best, and what you’d like me to write about in 2020.
