Books are a good source. But if you want to learn how to become a real leader the best two things you can do are, have always been and will ever be these two:
- understand yourself. Become aware of your internal system and what moves you in life. You have an entire ecosystem and forces inside of you that you're not aware of. Learn how to master them and people will follow you. They will follow you cause most of them are clueless and aimless and just go through the motions. And when they meet someone that even slightly resembles a person that figured something out in life and for him/herself, they will follow.
- dive into social relationships. No amount of self-help books can benefit you like real life experience. Go out and talk to people, mess up, embarrass yourself, look like a fool and then mess up again. Only in this way, you will actually learn something of value that will stick with you until the day you die and that will make you a true leader.
Hope it helps and good luck!
