It’s that time of year again! Here are five leadership reads that should be on the short list this summer.
We have a running collection of leadership books. Some of them have become perennial classics like The Five Dysfunctions of a Team: A Leadership Fable by Patrick Lencioni, and others that may have been trendy for a short period of time. All of them are useful in some way for leaders trying to gain or keep perspective. We keep this list active, so be sure to visit often. And always reach out with suggestions on what we should read next!
