These are not all of my favorite reads, but a strong list of some of the great ones. The following list of titles (some old and some new) have been the most influential and helpful sources for me personally. Each title on this list has been a place where I’ve found perspective as a leader, insight to set better project expectations, strategy around communications and essential ingredients for aligning teams.
