The most useful leadership books are short and specific. They tell you how to run a meeting that ends on time, how to give praise and correction, and how to develop the people who report to you. A new team leader will get more from one such book, read carefully, than from a shelf of theory. Experienced managers return to the same few titles every couple of years and find something new each time.
If you sell anything, whether a product, a service or your own skills, sales books pay for themselves quickly. Look for authors who have actually carried a target. Good marketing books will help you understand customers before you spend money trying to reach them.
You do not need graphs to understand how an economy works.
