  The Leadership Engine
Noel M. Tichy

We regularly send books to the top leadership of our clients' organizations, but few have been received with as much enthusiasm as this book. We have received numerable notes and phone calls thanking us for The Leadership Engine, with explanations of the impact it has had on their own leadership philosophy. Tichy does a superb job in helping leaders see the importance of taking direct responsibility for leadership development at every level of their organization. He then unpacks a practical, step-by-step strategy helping to effectively implement these principles. This book is a must-read.
     
  Leadership is an Art
Max DePree

DePree, former chairman and CEO of Herman Miller, Inc., shares from his heart about the nature and philosophy of leadership. It is one of the best summaries of values-based leadership we have found. DePree had a reputation for modeling these insightful principles, and under his leadership Herman Miller was ranked by FORTUNE Magazine in the top 10 companies for management excellence.
     
  Leading Change - The Argument for Values-Based Leadership
James O'Toole

O'Toole proposes a vision of leadership rooted in moral values and a high level of respect for followers. Although at times a bit philosophic, he does one of the best jobs we have seen in explaining why values-based leadership is so powerful and effective. He explores the reasons why people resist change and supports his arguments with insightful illustrations. Be prepared to take notes and think deeply as you delve into this very insightful book.
     
  Credibility
James Kouzes and Barry Posner

This inspiring guide explores the importance of credibility in building personal and organizational success. It reveals the six key disciplines and related practices that strengthen a leader's capacity for developing and sustaining this critical attribute. Based on surveys of more than 15,000 people, 400 case studies, and 40 in-depth interviews, Credibility shows why leadership is above all a relationship -- with credibility as the cornerstone.
     
  A Force for Change: How Leadership Differs from Management
John Kotter

In this book, Kotter makes one of the best distinctions between leadership and management we've ever seen. We have found that all too often management is held in disdain when every organization needs both disciplines. However, Kotter argues that in today's environment of high velocity change, organizations need more leadership than they can generally field. Although the core of the book revolves around what Kotter calls "leadership subprocesses" (establishing direction, aligning people, and motivating and inspiring), Kotter provides valuable insight into how leadership really works in complex organizations. He also delves into the origins of the development of effective leadership.
     
  Primal Leadership
Daniel Goleman

Goleman is a researcher and author of the best-selling Emotional Intelligence (1995), in which he put forth a winning concept the authors call emotional intelligence, which is defined as the ability to handle our emotions and our relationships in a positive way. Drawing on the authors’ own field observations as well as research into brain functioning and chemistry, the authors demonstrate the connection between emotional intelligence and leadership. Focusing on the four domains of emotional intelligence: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management- they explore what contributes to and detracts from resonant leadership, and how the development of these four EI competencies generates different leadership styles.
