Adam Grant
Organizational psychologist; Wharton professor
“Now that you have a better handle on solving the problems, it’s time to learn how to prevent them from occurring in the first place. The coauthor of my alltime favorite book on change, Switch, has a real gift for finding captivating stories, using them to illustrate convincing evidence, and weaving them into useful models.”

Consider Developing the Leader Within You by John Maxwell.
“Developing the Leader Within You feels like a short series of sermon-like chapters that prioritize character, personal discipline, and a biblical foundation for leading others. Its useful part is clear, portable guidance for shaping leadership attitude and priorities—short takeaways you can repeat or discuss. The main limitation is repetition and dated examples: those seeking contemporary case studies, metrics, or tactical procedures will find the treatment thin. Best used as reflection material and conversation starters, not an operations manual.”
