The Right to Lead by John Maxwell

I'm sure many leaders have read leadership books.  I know I have.  In fact, we read, notate, study - we work at understanding the concepts, figuring them out, determining how they apply, and what we can do.

This book will give you something of a break - not from learning and improving, but from the amount of work involved.

I his book The Right to Lead, John Maxwell has created a very practical guide to leadership.  He provides 7 core principles, and delivers them in a way that will be immediately understandable and actionable.  He relies on stories quotes from people we've heard about,  and illustrates these principles.  No heavy theory, no deep philosophy, just clarity.

I'd also add that this is not just your typical business leadership book - it can apply to parents leading their children as well as a CEO driving a multi-billion dollar enterprise.

I would heartily recommend this book to anyone that recognizes their need to develop as a leader.
