From the Editor

The best leaders constantly educate themselves. They analyze their personal strengths and weakness, sign up for classes and add new skills to their management capabilities. Most of all they read, read, read.

We asked this year’s 27 SALON TODAY 200 honorees in the category of Salon Leadership what book best helped them hone their leadership expertise. Below are the reads that topped their list. With a new decade upon us, now is a great time to set a reading resolution, selecting one of two of these to add to your nightstand:
