You know I love to read. It's a great way to learn new things. Reading books on the topic of leadership can help you develop and strengthen your skills. Not only that but books for leaders can inspire you, motivate you, and even boost your productivity. But if you’re not sure which leadership books to read, here are some of my favorites…
Leaders Eat Last: Why Some Teams Pull Together and Others Don't by Simon Sinek
Leaders Eat Last is a wonderful
peek into the world of servant leadership. By focusing on serving their team,
smart leaders create rich and fulfilling workplaces. They value new ideas and
respect viewpoints that differ from their own.
Simon wrote this book after being inspired by the military. On seeing that the high-ranking officers ate after the new recruits, he realized the concept could be applied to the business world, too. This incident made him focus on the importance of serving and protecting your followers.
Developing the Leader Within You 2.0 by John C. Maxwell
The author believes that “born” leaders are rare. He believes that everyone can be a leader no matter what their occupation or personality type. His book focuses on helping people develop the traits they need to become exceptional leaders.
In Developing the Leader Within, you’ll discover leadership principles that you can apply to every area of your life—your company or business, your family, your church, or your ministry. At just 256 pages, this book is short and easy to read. It’s packed with wisdom and knowledge that will help you blossom into a true leader.
Leadership and Self-Deception: Getting out of the Box by The Arbinger Institute
Leadership and Self-Deception is told through a fictional character’s experiences at work and home. As he learns more about his own motivations, his conflicts at his company and in his marriage improve.
This book emphasizes the way leaders treat their people, encouraging them to focus on others. Rather than using leadership to control others, you’ll learn real strategies for influencing and impacting those around you.
Dare to Lead: Brave Work. Tough Conversations. Whole Hearts. By Brené Brown
It takes bravery and courage to step up and lead others. It’s not about having the right answers but a willingness to ask questions, seek feedback, and learn with those you’re eager to serve.
In Dare to Lead, Brené uses fresh examples, new research, and powerful stories to illustrate each chapter. While you can use this book to improve your leadership skills at your job, it’s also filled with nuggets that are sure to help you lead at home, too.
Reading books on leadership is like having a mentor to guide you. You’ll develop your skills faster and enjoy the journey more, thanks to the wisdom of those who have gone before you.
