weLEAD
we have reviewed hundreds of the best leadership books ever written, and
our many reviews have been published on our book review page.
Often we are asked what we think the best
leadership books are for various readers. This is a difficult question and opinions
will certainly vary. However, in this monthly tip we will attempt to recommend
what we feel are some excellent books according to a specific focus or topic. This tip was revised on December 29, 2008.

Again,
we realize that reading and appreciating good informative writing is relative
and in the eye of the beholder! It has simply been our goal to provide what we
believe are outstanding books on selected
topics or issues. We are also pleased to offer our first weLEAD publication that became
available in September 2006.

Greg Thomas reminding you
that it was Mark Twain who wrote, "The man who does not read good books
has no advantage over the man who can't read them."
