The 2011 Leadership Book Awards

We highly recommend these titles as you strive to develop your leadership gifts.

Each year a number of excellent leadership books are published. Of course, so are a lot of bad ones. It's hard enough for busy leaders to carve out time to read, let alone hunt for the best titles.
