Natali Altshuler: \u201cThe Culture Code,\u201d by Daniel Coyle. It explores what it takes to make high-performing teams work \u2014 and how to build trust, safety and shared purpose. It has case studies from across various industries, which I found both practical and inspiring.<\/p>\n
Mary Beck: John Irving\u2019s \u201cA Prayer for Owen Meany.\u201d<\/p>\n
Komal Bhukhanwala: With two kids and a job, limited time to read. \u201cSteal Like an Artist\u201d by Austin Kleon gave me the best advice. Collect books, even if you don\u2019t plan to read them right away. There\u2019s magic in an unread library. Ours holds about 1,500 books and one day I hope to read them all. <\/p>\n
Marianne Boak: \u201cPower of Now,\u201d by Eckhart Tolle<\/p>\n
Danielle Brown: \u201cWomen and Leadership,\u201d by Julia Gillard and Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala<\/p>\n
Margaret Gray Connelly: \u201cThe Infinite Game,\u201d by Simon Sinek (brilliant!) and \u201cCutting for Stone,\u201d by Abraham Verghese (beautiful!) and \u201cTogether,\u201d by former Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy (moving!) and, of course, \u201cGood Company,\u201d by Arthur Blank (inspiring!) \u2014 so many books, so little time.<\/p>\n
Kristyn Cook: \u201cDrive,\u201d by Daniel Pink. It taught me that human motivation requires mastery, autonomy and purpose. I also enjoyed \u201cQuotable Wooden\u201d by John Reger, which reinforces that leadership is all about helping people become the best they are capable of being, not how I think they should be.<\/p>\n

Bracken Zimmerman Gustin: In the business genre, \u201cGood to Great,\u201d by Jim Collins is outstanding and has timeless relevance. Otherwise, I enjoy authors like David Brooks, Malcolm Gladwell, Esther Perel and Brene Brown. Amy Griffin\u2019s memoir, \u201cThe Tell,\u201d is the most riveting book I have read this year. <\/p>\n

Christy Keswick: \u201cShoe Dog,\u201d by Phil Knight. Incredible storytelling of entrepreneurship from a startup to the building of an iconic brand. It\u2019s such a great reminder that all things start small. <\/p>\n

Pam Miller: \u201cTo Kill A Mockingbird,\u201d by Harper Lee. So many life lessons in this classic.<\/p>\n
Liz Moore: I genuinely love all the John Grisham legal thrillers. Lawyers at the center of high-stakes drama? I\u2019m in every time.<\/p>\n

Alexa Pritting: \u201cSitting Pretty,\u201d by Rebekah Taussig<\/p>\n
Jessica Robertson: I gift \u201cLetters to a Young Poet\u201d by Rilke often because it\u2019s a wonderful exploration of self, especially in teaching us to be comfortable not knowing answers to life\u2019s questions, but rather trusting we\u2019ll live into the answer. As much as it resonates in real life, I find it very meditative in business and how that lesson relates to career journeys. Nothing is linear but everything is connected.<\/p>\n
Kimberly Rometo: \u201cThink Again,\u201d by Adam Grant<\/p>\n
Caryn Rosoff: \u201cShoe Dog,\u201d by Phil Knight<\/p>\n
Amber Sabathia: Reading Mel Robbins\u2019 book, \u201cThe Let Them Theory,\u201d helped me focus on my clients and understand that I can only control what I can control, allowing others to act as they wish.<\/p>\n
Amy Salazar: I recently read \u201cRelentless,\u201d by Tim Grover. It was a unique view that helped me better understand some of the competitive mindsets of my team members. <\/p>\n

Michelle Smith: \u201cWhat If?\u201d by Steve L. Robbins, Ph.D.<\/p>\n
