As you are looking to enhance and further you career & leadership skills? The biggest differentiators in those that succeed and those that do not is drive and knowledge. I am assuming you possess the drive and desire to enhance your knowledge since you are here looking to self develop! Congratulations on your beginning journey of self improvement.

Now, when it comes to knowledge, you need to separate yourself from everyone else. Work ethic alone, will not accomplish this. You need to take control of your focus, what you are reading and learning. Keep reading for our choice of the best leadership books of all time!

The average American reads 1 book per year – WOW.

Now, if you were to read 1 book per month on any Leadership topic, where would you stand vs the crowd with knowledge and skillset 1 year, 3 years, 5 years from now? In compared to your competition, you would have better writing skills, enhanced competencies, increased vocabularies and a plethora of ideas to overcome any situation within your leadership toolkit.

Reading increases knowledge and knowledge is power. To get you started, I have identified what I believe to be some great books on becoming a leader in the topics of Customer Service, Goal Setting, Overall Leadership, Human Resource and Productivity.

Read leadership books whenever you get free time and it adds up. You could read a couple pages on your phone, relax somewhere with a paperback book or pdf or pop in an audio book on your daily commute. Regardless of your method, each sentence read or spoken to you, will add to well above the 1 book the average American reads each year.

This will separate you from the average and make you a commodity! A lot of people desire success but success is all about your actions. If you do not care about your own self development, I can assure you that no one else will.

Take a look below at our recommended leadership books and pick one up to get you started on your journey of separating yourself from the average American.
