76 Outstanding Books by Recent Leader to Leader Authors

Last month I wrote about the Winter 2023 number 107 issue of Leader to Leader, where I am managing editor. What’s Happening in Leader to Leader, the monthly newsletter in which I write about new developments in the journal on the website of our publisher, Wiley, published its February edition last week.

Today I’m featuring books by authors who have published with us during the past two years, from Winter 2021 (number 99) through the latest Winter 2023 issue. While many of these authors have more than one book, I’ve included only the most recent.

Interacting with all of our authors (a ‘Who’s Who’ of the leadership world, in my view) and their teams is one of the most rewarding aspects of my work on Leader to Leader. These 76 titles constitute an amazing leadership library!
