Books and Development Resources

Leaders are readers.

Reading books is part of any comprehensive personal and professional development program. In this article from Harvard Business Review, John Coleman lists some of the benefits of reading in leadership development.

 

Amy's development programs take a blended learning approach with self-directed learning, coaching, group development, organizational leadership programming and experiential leadership projects. Every program incorporates reading.

 

This page includes a sample of some of Amy’s books and a few she uses in her individual and team development programs. Please email leadership@amypkelly.com if you have a book or other resource recommendations for individual, team, or organizational development programs.
