The Walking Leader Podcast episode #93 is now online. In this episode, your host David G. Guerra, talks about the first book in his brand new 3000 Word Leadership Lesson series: The Accidental Leader. The episode is just a bit over 13 1/2 minutes short. The 3000 Word Leadership Lesson series consists of bite-sized stories that guide the reader through the various intricate aspects of Leadership in the modern workplace and how the main character(s) successfully maneuver through those intricacies.

Summer on the beach. Summer in the country. Summer abroad. Summer Time.

For some reason or another, Summer is the time of year for fun and relaxation. Summer is also time to catch up on your reading. That’s why I have put together this list of 10 books on Leadership as Required Reading for any up and coming leader, including those leaders that require a refresher or two (ALL LEADERS).

Why 10? Ten books is enough for one person to read from early June to late August. 90 days. Think about it, does it really take you more than nine days to read a book?

It should not. Sure some of these books may seem a little long and daunting but in the end, it does not matter how long or how short they are. What does matter, is the vast knowledge and wisdom that will be gained by reading these 10 books.

Now if you have read them or some of them that’s OK. Read the ones you have not read and re-read the ones you have. Personally, I am re-reading The Art of War by Sun Tzu. Actually, it is my fifth re-read. Sometimes, things are that important to study, analyze and do so over again.

THE REQUIRED READING LIST

	1. Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill
	2. The Art of War by Sun Tzu
	3. How to Win Friends & Influence People by Dale Carnegie
	4. Seven Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey
	5. The Power of Positive Thinking by Dr. Norman Vincent Peale
	6. Awaken the Giant Within by Tony Robbins
	7. Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki
	8. Good to Great by Jim Collins
	9. The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership by John Maxwell
	10. The One Minute Manager by Ken Blanchard
