Last week an exclusive group of executives and consultants gathered at EXcelerating HR to discuss next level topics, such as Big Ideas, Coaching and Leadership Development, Staying Relevant During Economic Downturns, The Future of Work and HR, Innovation and Digital Disruption, Design Thinking, Growth, and Innovation, and Women Leaders in the Workplace. Recommendations for books inevitably emerged through our discussion. Some were ahead of their times and more revealing than ever today. Others are newer entrants shaping our path forward. Everyone inside and outside that large hall could benefit from all this thought leadership--leaders most of all. Here is the running list (so far) below, in alphabetical order:

An Everyone Culture: Becoming a Deliberately Developmental Organization
Black Holes and White Spaces: Reimagining the Future of Work & HR
​
Bullseye! Hitting Your Strategic Targets Through High-Impact Measurement
Culture  Your Culture:  Innovating Experiences @ Work (my book!)
Evolve Yourself: Conscious Personal Evolution
​
Focus: Creating Career + Brand Clarity
​Managing Transitions: Making the Most of Change
​
Principles: Life and Work
Safe Enough to Soar: Accelerating Trust, Inclusion, and Collaboration in the Workplace
​
Self as Coach, Self as Leader
​
The Art of the Long View: Planning for the Future in an Uncertain World
​The Character of a Corporation: How Your Company's Culture Can Make or Break
The Dip: A Little Book that Teaches You When to Quit (and When to Stick)
The Fearless Organization: Creating Psychological Safety in the Workplace
The Lessons of Experience: How Successful Executives Develop on the Job

​The Whole Brain Business Book : Unlocking the Power of Whole Brain Thinking
​Three: The Human Resources Emerging Executive
​
Why Do So Many Incompetent Men Become Leaders? (And How to Fix It)

Since it's likely I inadvertently left some out, I will continue to add to this list as I hear from colleagues.

You took better notes than I did. The only book referenced in my notes I didn’t see here was “Why Do So Many Incompetent Men Become Leaders? (And How To Fix It).

Hi Karen, I just read a gem of a book from Alan Severance, Strategia Analytics, called "The Human Side of Lean Enterprise" where he says, "If it's LEAN, it's routine"!
