3 Books Every Leader Should Read (And Reread)
There are so many leadership books out there, but these three have stood the test of time for me, and I come back to them again and again, both for myself and with the leaders I coach. They're also not just leadership books but brilliant books for...well anyone who just wants to improve their life.
📘 Atomic Habits – Because lasting change doesn’t come from motivation, it comes from systems. James Clear's work is a masterclass in consistency, identity and building the habits that shape who you become.
🧠 Time to Think - Nancy Kline’s book is a game-changer. If you’re a leader who wants to create space for others to thrive, this will challenge how you listen, question and truly empower your team.
⏳ Four Thousand Weeks – A powerful (and humbling) reminder that our time is limited and that productivity for productivity’s sake won’t get us where we truly want to go. Oliver Burkeman’s perspective is a must-read for any ambitious leader.
