@librarianbyday Nice leadership list! How about “Managing Your Boss” from HBR; Carneigies’ How to Win Friends; & Godin’s Tribes…

You Don’t Need a Title to Be a Leader by Mark Sanborn

Leading with Soul: An Uncommon Journey of Spirit by Lee G Bolman

The textbook for our library leadership course was Reframing Organizations by Bolman & Deal

From Good to Great. It’s a leadership book disguised as a business book. I listen to it on audio at least 1x a year. Jim Collins rocks!!

a few more from Twitter

pausch’s “the last lecture” although not Lib based general lessons can be learned. At “R u a tigger or an eeyore?”

also “what to say to a porcupine” by gallagher for customer service – lots of anecdotes which can be tweaked for libs

A classic: Kouzes and Posner’s The Leadership Challenge. It’s a timeless book on leadership (in my humble opinion!)
