Leadership Challenge: How to Get Extraordinary Things Done in Organizations 1 review
James M. Kouzes, Barry Z. Posner
Jossey-Bass Publishers, Inc., 1990
Required reading for a course...now a dust collector
I wouldn't have bought this after skimming it prior to the course. It's so repetitive and tries so hard to be one of those feel good organizational development books that just repeats what many of the other books out there are already saying. This really could have been a 30 page powerpoint.

Becoming a Manager: How New Managers Master the Challenges of Leadership13 reviews
Linda A. Hill
Harvard Business School Press, 2003
A must-read for managers (new or old)
I highly recommend this to anyone involved in "management", particularly where you have to lead people.
The value of this book -- to me -- was not that it revealed anything new (most managers would instinctively know what the issues are when working with a team). What it did for me was to give me assurance that the trials and tribulations that I've gone through (some of which are daily ...

The Offsite: A Leadership Challenge Fable7 reviews
Robert H. Thompson
Jossey-Bass, 2008
Taking theory and making it real...
There's obviously no dearth of books on leadership methodologies. But there are fewer books that take a program and package it such that you see yourself in it. Robert H. Thompson makes that jump in The Offsite: A Leadership Challenge Fable. He uses the storytelling method to take you through a philosophy in a way that makes application so much easier, because you've "seen" it work.
