Microsoft are sponsoring Harvard Business Review so that you can download a number of free leadership papers that you would otherwise have to pay for.
They are classics and include:
Daniel Goleman on what makes a leader (EI, he says, not surprisingly)
Jim Collins on Level 5 Leadership
Managers and leaders: are they different? (Before you read this, beware that it’s a false polarity. You have to flip backward and forward between ‘managing’ and ‘leading’ many times every day if you are doing your job properly. You need to be both).
Why should anyone be led by you? (A damn good question)
Marcus Buckingham on What Great Managers Do
Here’s the link. You can download them but don’t share them, as that breaches copyright. Just point people at the link as I’ve done here: FREE HBR Papers, sponsored by Microsoft.
