These books are related to one of my training classes, Leadership styles (known as Social Styles elsewhere). If you have already taken the class, you won’t get too much more from this book. It is made by the same company that created the training class, though not quite as good. (The reason I list it is for members of your family that like this sort of thing.)

Personal styles and effective performance: make your style work for you
This book is “the original” work from which Wilson Learning and The Trane Co. have derived their respective training programs on Social Styles. The presentation is a little bit different and worth the effort to compare/contrast with the latter. The authors make much more emphasis on versatility than the classes I have taken. Why? The original research (sponsored by the DoD no less) found that what leadership style you have doesn’t matter for success – it is your style versatility that counts. And what do you know, this has resurfaced recently under the guise of diversity!
