Leadership Attitudes: How to Approach Things Like a Leader
Leadership is largely a matter of character. Yes, there are some skills you’ll need, some roles to discharge, and a choice of how you do it. But, first and foremost, what matters are your attitudes to leadership and the people you lead.

RECOMMENDED READING
There are a vast number of Leadership books – perhaps more than on any other management-related topic. And there is also a huge range represented in different lists of the best. This no-doubt reflects the different contexts for leadership.
So, any recommended reading list of leadership books must be particularly subjective. I have chosen those that made me think, and which are of particular value to managerial leaders: not sportspeople, military leaders, or CEOs. In no particular order:
đź“– Leaders Eat Last
