This is a range of our favourite leadership books to help you think about firstly what leadership is about but also to challenge some of the traditional thinking about things like topdown management and about setting new directions.

Great Books on Lean

Lean is a massive topic with the ability to have a massive impact on your organisation. It's not just for manufacturing, lean is used in the service industry, in hospitals and doctors surgeries, in your council in fact anywhere where you need to improve the delivery of products or services to your customers faster and at a better quality and lower costs.

Great Books on Organisational Health & Strategy

Strategy and Culture are largely talked about separately, which is strange because done right it should be impossible to separate them. It's been said by many that strategy is vitally important, but Culture eats strategy for breakfast. Given the choice of having a great strategy or a great culture, go for a great culture, it'll get you a strategy. In here you will find a list of great books to help you do just that.
