Management & Leadership Books

Which management and leadership books are included?

This collection covers workplace reading alongside personal effectiveness, communication and decision-making. The listings include The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey, The Diary of a CEO, Extreme Ownership, Essentialism by Greg McKeown and Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman.

What does The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People focus on?

Stephen R. Covey’s framework explores personal responsibility, priorities, listening and working effectively with others. It offers a starting point for readers interested in both individual habits and interpersonal effectiveness, rather than only the formal responsibilities of a manager.

Are all these books management manuals?

No. The selection also includes biography, creativity, communication and books from other subjects. Read People Like a Book by Patrick King, The Creative Act by Rick Rubin and Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson offer different forms of reading from a step-by-step management handbook.

How should you choose a leadership book?

Identify the subject you want to explore—communication, personal effectiveness, organisational responsibility or a leader’s life—then compare the synopsis and author’s approach. A book’s place in this collection does not mean it covers every management topic.
