VALUABLE BOOKS

One way to improve your program is to read books about leadership. This should not be an attempt to read specifically for one thing, but an effort to read the ideas of others who write on leadership topics. Any good book on leadership will give you that moment where you reach for the scrap of paper to write down a quote or copy an idea for an exercise. The following books will provide a good library of leadership material for any occasion.
