Leaders are learners.

When I’m asked for book recommendations, I always ask, “Have you read, “The Leadership Challenge,” by Kouzes and Posner.

Recently read and recommended:

  1. The Secret of Teams
  2. Culture Secret
  3. Focus
  4. Leadership and the Art of the Struggle
  5. The Outstanding Organization
  6. Boundaries for Leaders

On the shelf and recommended:

  1. Full Steam Ahead
  2. The Go Giver
  3. Leadership is Dead
  4. Yes to the Mess
  5. Helping
  6. Leapfrogging
  7. StrengthsFinder 2.0
  8. All Hands on Deck
  9. StandOut
  10. What Got You Here, Won’t Get You There
  11. The Radical Leap
  12. The War of Art
  13. The Question Behind the Question

I’m not in my office so these books are “top of mind” books. When I actually look on the shelf, I’ll kick myself for not remembering more.

What leadership books do you recommend?
