My top books include Primal Leadership - Learning To Lead with Emotional Intelligence by Daniel Goleman, Richard Boyatzis and Annie McKee. Now more than ever our leadership skills should not only be at their sharpest, but should be honed regularly. This is a book that can help you maintain your leadership know-how in challenging times.
My second choice is The Emotionally Intelligent Manager by David Caruso and Peter Salovey. This is another must read to help remind any leader or manager about what's needed to keep their people on board. It is very readable and you don't have to read it from cover to cover.
Finally, there is The Naked Coach by David Taylor, a book for anyone who has ever wondered how to get the best from someone, even themselves.
