If you want to become a better leader, you need some powerful ideas to help on your journey. This list of twelve titles from eight trusted sources is a good start.
Leaders are readers so, together with your coach or on your own, pick a book from the list and finish it. Then move on to the next: wash, rinse, repeat. The key is to share what you are learning with your team and to apply it to your life. The more you apply, the more progress you will make.
Enjoy your leadership journey!
