Fast Company Leadership Hall of Fame

Fast Company has a Leadership Hall of Fame. Below are the authors who I admire from that list. The links take you to excerpts from their books, as well as to an interview with each author. It is good to see what they are up to and what books they would recommend you to read:

Tom Peters, In Search of Excellence

Stephen R. Covey, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

Seth Godin, Purple Cow

Tim Ferris, 4-Hour Workweek

Dan Heath, Made To Stick

Keith Ferrazzi, Never Eat Alone

I have to be honest here - I have not read anything by Richard Florida yet. He is on my list though. If you don't know him either, you can check what Fast Company recommends:

Richard Florida, The Rise of the Creative Class

Enjoy!
