Summer Reading: 5 Must-Read Books for Leaders

6/13/2014

Books on leadership can grow your business
With the arrival of summertime, we often envision ourselves lying on the beach, sipping lemonade (or an adult beverage with a little umbrella in it), and reading all the pulpy fiction we’ve saved up for vacation, right?  I don’t know about you, but I haven’t had a vacation like that since I was a teenager!  Even so, summer is a great time to get caught up on your reading list – and when the sun doesn’t go down until 9:00 or later, you have all the more time to read!

I often joke that my reading “addiction” is what makes me Amazon Prime’s best customer, so I wanted to share a list of classic business books with you that, if you’re like me, may feed your own addiction.  I chose five books that have been influential in my business approach and that represent different aspects of running your business.  All of these are available on Amazon. So order your books, get your glass of lemonade, and enjoy!


1. Primal Leadership: Unleashing the Power of Emotional Intelligence (2nd edition, 2013) by Daniel Goleman, Richard Boyatzis, & Annie McKee

I annotate key thoughts in the front or back pages of a book that I’m reading so I can remember the important points.  To best illustrate why I’m including this book on the list, here is a sample of the timeless concepts I noted in this book: Leaders set the emotional tone for the rest of the team.  Emotions are contagious.  Beyond a moderate level, anxiety and worry decreases people’s mental capacity.  People join companies and quit their bosses.  A great leader will spend time coaching, creating collaboration among and deepening personal relationships with her team.  People first, then strategy. 

This book, while grounded in scientific research, is immensely practical.  Like me, you will experience multiple “aha!” moments while reading it.
