10 Books That Will Impact Your Life and Leadership

Recently my friend and 3 time Coaching Alumni Terry Mahan from The Fathers House Christian Center in Leesburg, FL asked me to send him a list of the Top 10 Books that have impacted my life.

I don’t know if this list is my TOP Top 10, but here’s what I shared:

	Purpose Driven Church by Rick Warren

	Money Posessions and Eternity by Randy Alcorn

	How to Reach Secular People by George G. Hunter

	Good to Great by Jim Collins

	Leading at a Higher Level by Ken Blanchard

	The Effective Executive by Peter Drucker

	Leaders: Strategies for Taking Charge by Warren Bennis and Burt Nanus

	Leading Minds by Howard Gardner

	Understanding Church Growth by Donald MacGavran and Peter Wagner

	Dig Your Well Before You Are Thirsty by Harvey Mackay

Bonus: Victory by Brian Tracy, Leadership by James MacGregor Burns, See You at the Top by Zig Ziglar, On War by Carl von Clausewitz, Certain Trumpets by Garry Wills, Leading Change by John P. Kotter

Oh, and let’s not forget those brilliant books: Launch, Fusion, Activate and Ignite… ha!

What would you add?

Thanks for the question Terry!
