What is Haverford’s Executive Leadership Team Reading?

At Haverford Trust, we truly understand the importance of reading and encourage everyone to download a classic, pick up a new release, and stay on top of current affairs.  Reading is critical to one’s personal and professional growth, and continued self improvement. See some of the recommendations of Haverford’s Executive Leadership team listed below.

Chairman & CEO Joe McLaughlin shares one of his recent reads: “A Course Called America” by Tom Coyne. In this book, Coyne travels across all 50 states in search of the greatest golf experience and to develop a better understanding of his home country and its golf enthusiasts.

Our Vice President & Chief Compliance Officer Mimi Ness loves reading historical fiction. In this genre she recommends “The Family” by Naomi Krupitsky, a story about two families and their daughters as they navigate life in mid-century Brooklyn.

Our President Binney Wietlisbach recently read “Beartown” by Fredrik Backman. Set in the fictional community of Beartown, Backman’s piece shares the story of the residents’ aspirations to come back on the map and the price they must pay to make their dreams come true.

One of Vice President & Chief Marketing Officer Veronica McKee’s top leadership reads is “How to Lead” by David M. Rubenstein. This “essential leadership playbook” includes first person interviews with some of the world’s most successful leaders including Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Not only does our team enjoy playing golf together, but also reading about the game! Vice President & Director of Client Management Timothy Gillespie recently read “A Course Called Ireland” by Tom Coyne, a fictional story about a golfer who treks his way around Ireland playing golf and learning more about his family’s roots.
