If you found this site looking for leadership books then I’m sure you have quite a collection of books already.

And organizing those things is no small feat. You could have 3 books on how to get organized just to know how to organize your book collection…

Keep some books in the garage or attic, those that you want to keep but don’t need access to. Before putting them in storage, label the boxes and have a file identifying the full list of books in each box. So when you want to find one in particular, you’ll know exactly where it is.

Then, have appropriate books kept in the right places for easy access, including a home office, main study, even the kitchen for recipe books.

I have a ton of books plus now with my iPad I’m saving space by building my digital collection. I like having both physical and digital books.

Happy organizing.

In “The 100 Best Business Books of All Time” , the authors, Jack Covert and Todd Sattersten, list and review the 10 leadership books they judge as the ‘best’.

“We had three litmus tests,” says Sattersten. “Was the book accessible and well written? Are its lessons applicable today? And, third, would we apply the insights in our own business?”

Not in a particular order, here are their list of Top 10 Leadership Books:

1. On Becoming a Leader, by Warren Bennis (From the US or ). “His message is, you can’t be a leader until you know who you are. It’s that simple,” said Sattersten. “Once you know, you have amazing ability to lead successfully.”

2. The Leadership Moment, by Michael Useem (From the US or From the UK). “It’s a book you read for the stories, not because you’re looking for a solution,” Covert told me. “I think the stories sit in the back of your mind, and when you reach a crisis situation — which so many people are right now — you can call on them.” (And yes, I am related the author, he’s my dad.)

3. The Leadership Challenge, by Jim Kouzes and Barry Posner (From the US
or From the UK). “It’s the first book your read on leadership because it offers such a compelling model for thinking about leadership,” said Sattersten. “You can use it as a basis for looking at everything else you encounter.”

4. Control Your Destiny or Someone Else Will, by Noel Tichy and Stratford Sherman (From the US or From the UK). The book, about Jack Welch’s leadership at GE, is the story of “the great corporate turn-around story of the 20th century,” said Sattersten. And not because GE was faltering when Welch took charge — on the contrary, said Sattersten, GE at the time was running “an acceptably profitable business,” and yet still Welch was able to implement major changes. “It’s like Tiger Woods changing up his golf swing at the top of his game,” added Covert.

The other books on their list are:

• Leadership is an Art, by Max De Pree (From the US or From the UK)
• The Radical Leap, by Steve Farber (From the US or From the UK)
• Leading Change, by John Kotter (From the US or From the UK)
• Questions of Character, by Joe Badaracco (From the US or )
• The Story Factor, by Annette Simmons (From the US or From the UK)
• Never Give In! Speeches by Winston Churchil (From the US or From the UK)

I’m going to recommend that you give yourself a treat, and enjoy the anticipation of these incredible books being shipped to you from Amazon.
