5 Leadership Books To Read In August 2023

We’re halfway through summer and that means plenty of vacations and beach days are yet to happen. If you’re blessed to live in a beach town such as mine or along the coasts, you know what I’m talking about. There’s something about sitting at a beach with a good book to read (I don’t do this nearly enough).

This means you need new book recommendations! It’s something I like to bring to you because it means you get the best books to add to your list. 

August won’t be any different. Here are five great leadership books to consider reading in August 2023.

5 Leadership Books To Read In August 2023

1. Be A People Person by John C. Maxwell:

You can’t throw a stone in a bookstore and not hit a John C. Maxwell book. He’s one of the leading authorities in leadership and has been for many, many years.

Learning From Local Leaders

With the advent of the internet, it’s never been easier to connect with big-name leaders. Guys like Michael Hyatt, Jeff Goins, or Guy Kawasaki are a website away.

But with this in mind, don’t forget about your local leaders. Those doing wonderful things in your local community. There are just as many great leaders in your town as there are in any other.

The great thing about these leaders? You can normally sit down and converse with them in person. I won’t lie, there’s nothing like connecting in person.

Sometimes I forget how many great leaders there are locally too. So don’t worry if you have this problem. It happens, especially with all the glitz and glamor you see associated with the big names.

That’s why I was excited to see the Muskegon Chamber of Commerce honor 15 young and upcoming leaders in my city with the new Future 15 award.
