Rachel Recommends – Leadership Books
If I really had to choose, my current top 7 books it might go like this (but it does vary and I’m always reading, so this is a snapshot in time):
- Prof. Damian Hughes – Five Steps to Success
- Dr John Blakey – The Trusted Executive
- Stephen Covey – The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People
- David Jenyns – SYSTEMology
- William Ury – Getting to Yes with Yourself (& Other Worthy Opponents)
- John Whitmore – Coaching for Performance
- Mary Portas – Rebuild
I very often go back to a book and go over bits. I always read a book as if I am going to teach the key learning to someone. I also use audio books in my car or on my phone when travelling.
