Ask HN: What are the best books on leadership?
I want to learn how to be a great leader in order to take my business to the next level. What are the best books or resources that will help me learn?
Also, do you think great leaders are born, or can anyone learn to be one?

- wj 15y agoStanford's Entrepreneurial Thought Leader podcasts are great. Each week a new person tells their story of building a company or related topics. Leadership is a common theme. I used to listen to the Manager Tools podcast which had some good information but was decidedly less inspirational. Harvard Business Review on Managing Yourself was a good book. Managing yourself is the first step to managing others. I also enjoyed Persuasion: The Art of Influencing People, A Sense of Urgency, and Good to Great.
