Best Leadership Books of the 21st Century

Anyone trying to learn about leadership is faced with a bewildering array of books. What is enduring and what is passing fad? Can church leaders learn from business, and vice versa? To help answer such questions, MODEM convened a panel of people ranging from churches to business schools. They received 136 nominations. After a healthy debate, they chose ten books in each of two categories, covering general leadership and Christian leadership.

The Panel has produced a brief review of each of the chosen books - a Twitter limit of 140 characters was too much, but they restricted themselves to 140 words about each book. Download a free PDF here.

For further information, including how to order printed copies of the results, visit the Best Books page.
