Recommended Books – Leadership
There is an explosion of books about leadership.
Some are about broad and general philosophies, paradigms, visions and values. Others are about more specific models and theories.
Still, others are about even more specific tips and tools. Bibliographies of books on leadership span numerous pages. The books mentioned on
these pages are a reasonable beginning. They are focused on books with both foundational principles and practical tips and tools.
Note that, although many perspectives on leadership are about leading other individuals and groups, there are other domains of leadership, including leading
oneself and organizations. The books referenced from this page are in regard to all domains of leadership.
Leading For-Profits and Nonprofits
There is much more in common between leading a for-profit and nonprofit than many people might realize. Small nonprofits are a lot more
like small for-profits, than large nonprofits. Similarly, large nonprofits are a lot more like large for-profits, than small nonprofits.
Nonprofits often include leading volunteers. A section, later on below, provides more books about leading specifically in nonprofits.
