<p>I would like to read about leadership and management. Can anyone rec some good books?</p>
<p>thxs.</p>
<p>Sure. I preferred Iacocca’s books over Welch’s, but both offer good insights. And don’t miss that old classic “How to Win Friends and Influence People.” If Mary Kay has a book I’d read that also.</p>
<p>One of my favorite professors, Barry Posner, has written a classic - the leadership challenge - which is now in its fourth printing. Highly recommended.</p>
<p>[The</a> Leadership Challenge :: The Leadership Challenge, 4th Edition](<a href=“http://www.leadershipchallenge.com/WileyCDA/LCTitle/productCd-0787984914.html]The”>http://www.leadershipchallenge.com/WileyCDA/LCTitle/productCd-0787984914.html)</p>
<p>Not exactly a leadership or a motivational book, but a very important piece of reading for anyone who is considering to be in a management/leadership position at some point: a book “The No A*<em>hole Rule: Building a Civilized Workplace and Surviving One That Isn’t” by Robert Sutton, who is a professor at Stanford. (Just put “s” in place of “</em>”).</p>
<p>Thanks for the book titles. </p>
<p>I had a interesting conversation at work about the difference between “leadership” and “management”. Today I heard a politcal commentary on NPR about who will make the best leader and it made me wonder if we need better leadership or management or are they too intertwined to distinguish.</p>
<p>Now off to do some reading.</p>
