Leadership for Intelligence Professionals   

Leadership Book List:

Reviewed and updated October 2011
Hundreds of books arranged by category

Writing books on Leadership now seems to have become a cottage industry.  There are far too many books to review them all based on the quality or relevance of their content.  Thus, the books on this list have been selected based on the reputation of the author and the apparent relevance to this course based on the title and book jacket or website description of their contents.  Not all have been read and no endorsements are intended.

 

They have been categorized by type and by course topic to help students select a book based on their interest and needs.

 

Note: those marked with an asterisk * are recommended on the “Books on Leadership and Psychology” a sub-page of “Recommended Reading for Intelligence Analysts” page of Intelllink.
