Thinking Fast and Slow by Daniel Khaneman: It is not a book on leadership really, but on decision-making. It is backed by reproducible nobel-prize winning research and builds a ver clear mental model. My only quibble is that the author should call &quot;system 1&quot; &quot;the intuitive mind&quot; and &quot;system 2&quot; &quot;the deliberative mind&quot; for the sake of better affordance.<p>Difficult Conversations by Douglas Stone, Bruce Patton, and Sheila Heen: This is by the same group behind Getting to Yes. It presents a clear mental model for how to better predict the way your words will be perceived and how to avoid misperceiving what other people are trying to say.<p>The Advantage by Patrick Lencioni: The first part of this presents a clear model the prerequisites for a team to be effective. The Second part presents a model of how to get agreement on mission and strategy. If you prefer a more allegorical&#x2F;narrative style, the author has several books that teach different pieces of this book.<p>Each of these is available on Audible, if you find it easier to listen while commuting.
