Leaders are learners. And learning means listening to teachers, reading books and articles, and practicing new learnings. As a ministry leader, one of the topics that I love to read about is the subject of leadership. Because I love to read these types of books and think that other leaders should also be reading, here is a list of my favorite leadership books. They are in no particular order, just 20 leadership books that came to mind.
