Recommendation
In the mid-1980s, the late Warren Bennis wrote this classic model for modern leadership based on personal growth, self-expression, learning and integrity, drawing from interviews with dozens of leaders. Most importantly, he found, leaders do not seek to lead. Instead, they seek to express themselves fully. They embrace risks and mistakes, learning from adversity. They reflect on all of their experiences. With these skills, they inspire others to follow them. They turn organizations into communities which find each member’s highest potential. Bennis may have become slightly outdated, but you'll appreciate his basic, inspiring philosophy of leadership. Read this if you want to lead – and be good at it.
