I love finding and reading/listening to great books. They help me gather the wisdom of others who have been there and done that. They’ve gone through trials and tribulations I won’t have to if I heed their tales.
That’s why I love bringing you a list of great books to read every month. I can help you avoid some of those same traps and tribulations.
This month is no different. Here’s your reading list for December 2024.

5 Leadership Books To Read In December 2024
1. Tribal Leadership: Leveraging Natural Groups to Build a Thriving Organization by Dave Logan, John King, Halee Fischer-Wright:
In Tribal Leadership, Dave Logan, John King, and Halee Fischer-Wright examine what it takes to build great organizations. They’ve noticed 5 levels to great organizations.
Fischer-Wright, Logan, and King have noticed that organizations and people will move up and down those levels depending on the season they’re in. Sometimes, they’ll rise up to level 5 only to fall to level 4. People will rise and fall from levels 3 and 4.
Their research is deep. It’s impactful. And it’s helpful to leaders at any level.
