writers on leadership

Over the years John O’Neil has received numerous requests to compile a list of must reading on leadership. He has until now demurred, largely for fear of inadvertently overlooking important voices, influential sources. But prompted recently once again, John has assembled this list of writers as a starter list. Your comments and suggestions are encouraged, and your questions welcome. This list is intended to prompt a dialogue as well as to promote the many worthwhile thinkers on the subject of leadership.
