The best business books of 2017 have been identified for the Leadership segment. It mainly includes three books and each has come up with its own specific theme which is of critical importance to leadership practices in the coming years. The first such book mentioned is The Captain Class: The Hidden Force that creates the World’s Greatest Teams written by Sam Walker. This book analyzes leadership from the outlook of some of the greatest sports teams of all-time such as the NBA’s Boston Celtics, New Zealand’s All Blacks Rugby Union team, the French soccer team in the late 1990s and early 2000s and one of the Soviet Ice Hockey teams. The next one listed explores leadership maxims the business world has picked up from military practices. One Mission: How Leaders Build a Team of Teams by Chris Fussell demonstrates how talent management practices from the 20^th century such as vertical strategic alignment and Management by Objectives are bound to fall short in the digital age. Susan David’s Emotional Agility: Get Unstuck, Embrace Change, and Thrive in Work and Life speaks from a psychological point about the importance of being emotionally agile.
