This page is dedicated to books on leadership. The Chair Academy is not trying to promote the following books, but rather create a forum wherein Academy participants can discuss, comment upon, and share information about relevant books in the field of leadership and development. As such, we offer here several resources to facilitate dialogue.

Through the help of Academy participants and facilitators, we have begun an annotated list of leadership books. Some of these books are found in the Chair Academy's bibliography; however, that is not a requirement of their addition. They are recommendations from Academy participants or facilitators who have found them insightful. You are welcome to join in with your own comments and feedback.
