Appendix 1: Bibliography of Significant Books on Leadership

The Further Reading sections at the end of each article provide citations to what the authors of the articles consider the key publications on the topic. These include journal articles, chapters in books, dissertations, conference papers, edited works, dictionaries and handbooks, and books. The authors were encouraged to provide at least some citations to works (especially books) that are available to the general reader. All together, about 7,500 works are cited in the Further Reading sections. The works of some authors such as Burns, Bass, Bennis, Avolio, Conger, Chemers, Yukl, Ciulla, and H. Gardner are cited over a dozen times and those of many other authors are cited more than once. Still, though, about 6,000 works are cited in this encyclopedia at least once.

The select bibliography that follows provides references to several hundred key books in leadership studies selected from the works cited throughout this encyclopedia. Leadership studies is defined broadly, and books listed below include older classics, recent books that are likely to become classics, books on leadership in general, books on specific aspects of leadership, books on related topics such as management and motivation, and books by and about famous or exemplary leaders and significant leadership events and situations. The citations are categorized into ones that focus on leadership in general, leaders and leadership events, specific aspects of leadership, and other topics relevant to leadership. The books included here are all ones that will provide the general reader a quick entry into the field of leadership studies. Inclusion of books in this list does not mean that the book is the “best” or even the “most important” book on the topic—although some are clearly the best or most important. Rather, it means that the book is a good place to begin one's exploration of what we know about leadership and leadership studies.
