This list is inspired by one of my early mentors, Dr. John L. Komives, whose library contained a special “one-foot” section of key books.  As John explained it, some of the books in this space would be there forever, a few would change over time.  This is my “one-foot” list of essential reads.

“Mr. Lincoln’s T-Mails” is a recent addition because of its phenonmenal insights on communications for managers in today’s electronic world.
