Resources

Here is my list of leadership resources including books and websites.  I encourage you all to explore.  I will build it up over time.

    • Fast Company MagazineCool information on people and companies doing it right.
    • Tom PetersFrom the Search to Excellence to so much more.  Agree or disagree this guy gets you thinking.
    • Peter SengeHis book, The Fifth Discipline started me on my Organizational Development journey.
    • Servant LeadershipThis term was coined by Robert Greenleaf.  It is a huge influence on me and my journey.
    • Reframing Organizations - I started with the second edition and now I am studying the fourth edition.  Leadership is nothing if we do not understand how we organize.  Such an important resource.
    • Synchronicity - This is a book by Joseph Jaworski.  It is a wonderful personal story with great insight for leaders.
    • Meaningful Workplaces - This is a book by Neal Chalofsky who wrote the book on effective HR practices.  I have read his other writings throughout Grad School. In this book, his latest, he nails it for what we need in our modern workplace.  I stand for building a meaningful workplace.
    • Stephen R. Covey - This is the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People guy and other books on leadership.  Every time I step away, I come back to this book.
    • Warren BennisClassic Leadership guy.  Lot’s of good writing.
    • Organizational Culture and Leadership - The classic on understanding culture in the workplace and the role for the leader. 
    • It’s Your ShipBy Captain D. Michael Abrashoff - this is a story of one man’s leadership journey as the Captain of a US Navy Ship.  Good stuff.
    • Steve Jobs, By Walter Isaacson.  I Just finished the book and highly recommend it.  Steve Jobs was a flawed and brilliant leader all at the same time.  This is a great book.
    • The Art of Followership, By Ronald Riggio, Ira Chaleff and Jean Lipman-Blumen, Editors.  This book is a anthology of essays on followership.  There is much here to ponder and remember step one of leadership is to be a good follower.

Let me know what you think and I will continue to build.
