He has another book "Built to Last" which is great as well. I don’t think I’ve read any of the books on the list; however, I would recommend “Good to Great” by Jim Collins.

It is not a "great read" but it is a great instructional text written as a novel which really makes the lesson easy to understand and apply. I second the recommendation of The Goal.

If so you can download Jim Clemmer's(Leader's Digest, Growing the Distance) latest book, Moose on the Table: A Novel Approach to Communications @ Work one chapter at a time for free at http://www.mooseonthetable.com or fork over the $10 and get the whole thing in one shot. It's a business fable about a middle manager struggling to keep his job at a failing tech services company by facing the mountain of "tiny concessions" he made over the years and realizing that true leadership comes from facing the moose on the table - literally in his case. A jaunty little story that's great for beach or the pool. Does the Kindle handle PDFs?
