In the past 10 years I’ve read hundreds of books about leadership.

Most of them are the same.

Here are the 5 every leader and coach should own.

// Thread //

1) The Coaching Habit

Great leaders ask great questions. This book is a cheat sheet to use in your next conversation.

One tip: Start your next coaching conversation by asking “What’s on your mind?”

You'll create much better dialogue than small talk.

2) The Five Dysfunctions of a Team

This book provides an incredible model to develop a high performing team.

1. Trust
2. Conflict
3. Commitment
4. Accountability
5. Results

Each step provides an important foundation for the next.

3) Multipliers

Some leaders make people better, while others accidentally diminish their quality.

Accidental diminishers have good intentions with negative consequences.

I promise you have accidental diminisher qualities. Everyone does. This book will help.

4.) Emotional Intelligence 2.0

A lack of emotional intelligence will destroy your team.

Leaders should understand emotional intelligence well enough to teach it.

This book provides the tools and tactics you need.

5) The Effective Executive

This is the best book on prioritizing and getting the important work done.

- Know your time
- Focus on strengths
- Do the first things first
- Make effective decisions

Leaders who focus on these things, win.

Now I want to hear from you,
