CURRENT BOOKS ON EFFECTIVE LEADERSHIP
1. Sing, Dance, and Lead by Hindol Sengupta (July 2025)

2. Crisis: A Global Case Primer by Jason Miklian & John Katsos (June 2025)
This real-world, case‑based guide helps leaders steer through polycrises. It emphasizes values-grounded leadership, purposeful systems, clear communication, and community engagement during instability.
3. The Systems Leader by Robert E. Siegel (June 2025)
Siegel identifies and helps leaders navigate five core “cross-pressures” in modern companies—priorities, people, scope, geography, and purpose—delivering systemic strategies rather than quick fixes.
4. When We're in Charge: The Next Generation's Guide to Leadership by Amanda Litman (May 2025)
Geared toward Millennials and Gen Z, Litman advocates for emotionally intelligent, equitable, and digitally fluent leadership. She particularly stresses the power of prioritized rest and a humane work culture.
