LEADERSHIP Books Kouzes and Posner. 2011. The Leadership Challenge The Leadership Challenge, Fourth Edition, has been extensively updated with the latest research and case studies, and offers inspiring new stories of real people achieving extraordinary results. The authors' central theme remains the same and is more relevant today than ever: "Leadership is Everyone?s Business." Their "five practices" and "ten commitments" have been proven by hundreds of thousands of dedicated, successful leaders. This edition, with almost one-third new material, emphasizes the global community and refocuses on business leaders. The principles and practices of Personal Leadership help people access the inherently creative possibilities that exist when they come together from different backgrounds or with different perspectives. Instead of turning away from difference in fear or mistrust, Personal Leadership helps people engage with difference from a place of inspiration, curiosity, and full intelligence, and in alignment with their highest and best. Schaetti, Barbara, Ramsey, Sheila, and Watanabe, Gordon. 2008. Making a World of Difference. Leadership Resources Page 1 The concept that Thomas has in this book is simple. He believes that a contented and fulfilled life is like a giant puzzle. If any of the pieces are missing or abused ... then life is incomplete and that is why there is so much unhappiness in the world today. Within the pages of the book he introduces one puzzle piece at a time as a valuable life "principle." He explains why each principle is necessary to achieve a life filled with real purpose. He continues building the puzzle with what he calls the "12 Principles of Personal Leadership." Thomas, Greg. 2009. Making Life's Puzzles Pieces Fit: Using the Twelve Principles of Personal Leadership Covey, Stephen M. 2004. The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People. Th. Stephen Covey, an internationally respected leadership authority, realizes that true success encompasses a balance of personal and professional effectiveness, so this book is a manual for performing better in both arenas. His anecdotes are as frequently from family situations as from business challenges. Before you can adopt the seven habits, you'll need to accomplish what Covey calls a "paradigm shift"--a change in perception and interpretation of how the world works. Covey takes you through this change, which affects how you perceive and act regarding productivity, time management, positive thinking, developing your "proactive muscles" (acting with initiative rather than reacting), and much more. This isn't a quick-tips-start-tomorrow kind of book. The concepts are sometimes intricate, and you'll want to study this book, not skim it. ..The Leadership and Self-Deception uses an entertaining story about an executive facing challenges at work and at home to expose the precise psychological processes that conceal our true motivations and intentions from us and trap us in a “box” of endless self-justification. Most importantly, the book shows us the way out. Arbinger Institute, 2010 Leadership and Self-Deception: Getting Out of the Box Leadership Resources This new edition has been revised throughout to make the story more readable and compelling. And drawing on the extensive correspondence they’re received over the years the authors have added a section that outlines the many ways that readers have been using Leadership and Self-Deception, focusing on five specific areas: hiring, teambuilding, conflict resolution, Page 2 accountability, and personal growth and development. Sandy Shugarts book leads you on a deep journey to discover your interior self as you become leaders. His discussion leads to what it means to become an authentic leader.
