Lists of Bests: Best Leadership Books http://www.listsofbests.com/list/49617 These lists are the inevitable expansions of my similar lists on Amazon. Readers of Amazon's lists urged me to expand my lists on different areas from chess to leadership that merely reflects my readings and research as a student of these fields. Instead of writing multiple lists in Amazon, I decided to capture my ongoing quest of literary gems in these lists. Mehmet Gok MBA, PMP Johannesburg, 2008.
