I've had three books sitting on my desk, unread, for the longest time. I pick one up, read a few pages, then switch because I think that another book is more relevant at that moment. Switching between these books, along with my failure to read everyday (or even some weeks), means that all three have gone unread for better than half a year. (That's not something I'm proud of by the way.) As I prepare to make reading a priority (again), I thought I'd share a brief description of each book.

Leading Out Loud is the book I am currently carrying around. This book, by Terry Pearce, talks about authentic communication.

I picked up Drive sometime before Christmas last year. Drive is now third on my reading list. This book, by Daniel Pink, talks about motivation.

Leading Change was handed to me this past spring. I started reading Leading Change and then put it down when I decided to finish reading Leading Out Loud. This book, by John P. Kotter, talks about leading groups through the change process.

If these books don't suit your fancy, the catalystspace blog wrote an entry earlier this month titled What Are the Top 5 Books Every Young Influencer Should Read? You know it's a pretty good list when the first book is The Bible.
