THE ENCOURAGING LEADER: I Love Books Edition

 

THE ENCOURAGING LEADER:  Winter 2013 Issue

http://www.U-Leadership.com/TheEncouragingLeader-Winter2013.pdf 

I admit it; I am an obsessed reader.  I normally read 2 or 3 books at a time.  There is the book that I read when I am on the stationary bike; there is my evening time book next to my bed; and oftentimes a book for when I travel.  My wife has a Kindle Fire, but I am old school and prefer paper books so that I can dog-ear the pages and highlight certain sections.

The books highlighted in the latest edition of THE ENCOURAGING LEADER are books that I'd recommend for anyone in any field that wants to be successful.  The books are:

• 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership -- John C. Maxwell
• True North:  Discover Your Authentic Leadership -- Bill George
• Good to Great -- Jim Collins
• Dig Your Well Before You're Thirsty -- Harvey Mackay
• Talent is Never Enough -- John C. Maxwell
• The Five Dysfunctions of a Team:  A Leadership Fable -- Patrick Lencioni

These are by no means the only leadership books that I recommend.  These are just the latest that I've read.  In previous issues of THE ENCOURAGING LEADER, other books have been highlighted.  You can see previous issues of the newsletter at www.U-Leadership.com.
