Book Recommendations from a Successful Leader

A reading list from an effective leader. One of the things that is a bit of a struggle is knowing want to read as there are so many books out there - some great, some good, some mediocre, and some that should not have been written! One of the things that has helped me to navigate the book world, is getting recommendations of good books from successful leaders such as my good friend Wayne Clemons, president of Talos Engineered Products LLC. Here is Wayne’s list:

  1. The Way of the Shepherd – Leman and Pentak

  2. Good to Great – Jim Collins

  3. Mindset – Carol Dweck

  4. Drive – Daniel Pink

  5. Seven Habits of Effective People – Covey

  6. Good Strategy/Bad Strategy – Rumelt

  7. Leadership and Self Deception – Arbinger Institute

  8. Get a Grip – Wickman and Paton

  9. Call Sign Chaos – Jim Mattis

  10. Delivering Happiness – Tony Hsieh

Take a look at Wayne’s list and see if any might be helpful to you - several of them have been very helpful to me!
