Solid list, John Maxwell is pretty good, among others.
John Maxwell is absolutely the best I’ve known for years.
A good starter for 10 list.
How about shoving up some reviews of them?
Have put some reviews on as posts. Plus now I am on to a new list of books http://leadershiptests.co.uk/2008/07/30/a-change-of-season/
Wow, this is a great list of books.
Have you ever read The Leadership Challenge by Jim Kouzes and Barry Posner. Given the other books on your list, I think you’d like it.
That is one of those foundational leadership books – I really enjoyed that. It was a challenging read but so much packed in it. I would also recommend it as a must read for any leaders.
Het Julian – thanks for buying my book and reading it! Appreciate that a lot and hope you got something good from it. Tom Rawls
Many of these are on my list as well. I’ve done summaries for the ones on my list at https://gracelead.co
