Leadership is an evolving phenomenon. It is about using the talents and skills in changing contexts. It also has much to do with lifelong learning and the constant search for new ways to use personal skills.
A leader is always learning. Therefore, the books on leadership experiences are very useful.
Authors Sattersten Jack Covert and Todd, who run the leading business books CEO.com 800 created a list of the top 10 leadership books of all time. Only some of them are available in Spanish.
The criteria used were whether the book ..
- is accessible and well written.

Here are the list include:
1. On Becoming a Leader (Becoming a leader), by Warren Bennis. His message is that you can not be a leader until it is not. Once you know has the amazing ability to lead successfully.
2. The Leadership Moment (The Moment of leadership), by Michael Useem. It's a good book on stories of leaders and their moments of challenge.
