Guest guest Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Leading at a Higher Level by Ken Blanchard Five Dysfunctions of a Team Lencioni Kathy Lovato PT,DPT Mesa, AZ Re: Favorite Management and Leadership Books Great question! I'm enjoying the responses. Switch: How to Change Things When Change is Hard, by Chip and Dan Heath (they also wrote Made to Stick: Why Some Ideas Survive and Others Die). The Heaths have a nice writing style and I happened to read this book at a time I was preparing to initiate changes in our workplace. Listen Up, Leader! by Cottrell. Very short, but a great book for anyone starting out in a leadership role. It's very practical and not a bad idea to go back and read now and then.

Leadership and management start from within. The biggest deficit our profession and our country faces is a leadership deficit. The same old thought patterns and actions will yield the same old results. In game theory, you could say we face the prisoner's dilemma.

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 A couple of my favorites, especially from a management perspective (I encourage all of my supervisory staff to read and discuss the first two resources) Coaching, Mentoring and Managing by Micki Holliday Skills for New Managers by Morey Stettner Developing the Leader within You by C. Maxwell What Type of Leader are You by Ginger Lapid-Bogda, PhD Quiet Leadership by Rock Our Iceberg is Melting by Kotter & Holger Rathgeber (great for facilitating change when staff are resistant!) Effie Elliott, PT Manager PT/OT KGH Bayhealth Medical Center /6820 Office Number Pager Number Fax Number effie_elliott@...

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 If you like Ken Blanchard then you will like: " Who Killed Change, Solving the Mystery of Leading People through Change " by Ken Blanchard, Britt, Judd Hoekstra and Pat Zigarmi. Its a fun book with great insights.
