Reading 1. Leadership in a complex world

Further reading

Throughout this MOOC we have added Further Reading lists. In these lists, you find relevant literature on the topic we discussed during a chapter. Some of the literature is referred to in the text, some literature not but might also be interesting.

If you have any suggestions for books, articles, blogs etc that we could add to this list, please share them with us on the discussion forum below!   We are always interested in state-of-the-art literature about leadership.
