1 Path to Leadership
You can't learn leadership from a book, but you can learn the styles including what works and doesn't. Therefore this book covers all the research for the last century or so on leadership. As such it is very good tool to work out why some styles of leadership (yours, your bosses) don't work, and why other do.

This is the text for a Masters university course I am taking, so the book is of a very high academic standard.

The book is very in depth, but also very American centric.

I would suggest reading this book AND other books - such as "The 7 Heavenly Virtues of Leadership". That way you can start to see the concepts and styles of leadership at a broader level to make up your own mind on the style that is most productive for you and your team.

Quote of the Day:


But I always fired into the nearest hill or, failing that, into blackness.

I meant no harm; I just liked the explosions. And I was careful never to
kill more than I could eat.
-- Raoul Duke

Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth but supreme beauty --
a beauty cold and austere, like that of a sculpture, without appeal to any
part of our weaker nature, without the gorgeous trapping of painting or music,
yet sublimely pure, and capable of a stern perfection such as only the
greatest art can show. The true spirit of delight, the exaltation, the sense
of being more than man, which is the touchstone of the highest excellence, is
to be found in mathematics as surely as in poetry.
-- Bertrand Russell
