Although this book is about the epic adventure (and survival) of Sir Ernest Shackleton’s expedition to Antarctica between 1914–1917, the book contains about 200 pages of the best leadership lessons one can imagine. Through the most exciting stories of brave men and their leader, we learn from their challenges and are inspired by their persistence and memorable achievements. They survived, all of them! The lessons are directly applicable to any business setting.

Gitomer, although known for his sales books and attitude, published several other business books. This book stands out not only by the color but by the energy that sparks from it. In a great design and simple, clean, and inspirational language, it is the best reading whenever you need more energy, more optimism, more determination, and passion. More YES! attitude.

Tichy is probably one of the greatest authorities on succession planning. His book is truly his life's work, and he lays out fantastic examples of companies where succession planning has worked and where it has failed. That gives the reader a true perspective and a deeper understanding of how complex succession planning is and what needs to be done to create a sustainable and effective succession plan.

This is one of my favorite books to recommend to leaders. I recommend it whether you are new in your position or have been leading teams for more than 20 years. The authors use research and case studies and go into great detail about the major issues plaguing business today. In the book’s chapters, you’ll find prescriptive solutions as to what is keeping your top talent from reaching their full potential, how to increase loyalty and engagement across all levels of your organization, and how to strategically lead and help team members navigate change and uncertainty. This book lays a great foundation for building a succession culture.

Despite corporate pledges to diversity, equity, and inclusion, this novel lays bare the tremendous opportunities that still exist to ensure that women of color are seen, heard, and valued in corporate America. This is an important read about the very real barriers that still exist and empathetic advice on how to overcome them.

It’s the time we all wait for in Chicago: summer. There is an energy in the air as everyone gets outdoors and makes plans for the great-weather months, but sometimes, less is better. I was reminded of that idea as I read this book. I was thinking about what this means at work. My favorites include “stop trying to do it all,” “If it isn’t a clear yes, then it’s a clear no,” and “I can do anything but not everything.”
