I thoroughly enjoyed Melvyn Bragg\u2019s book, <em>12 Books that Changed the World.<\/em> Bragg is an Englishman who chose all English books by male authors. He summarized the books and shared why they changed the world. His list included:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Principia Mathematica\u00a0(1687) \u2014 Isaac Newton<\/li>\n<li>Married Love\u00a0(1918) \u2014 Marie Stopes<\/li>\n<li>Magna Carta\u00a0(1215)<\/li>\n<li>Book of Rules of Association Football\u00a0(1863)<\/li>\n<li>On the Origin of Species\u00a0(1859) \u2014 Charles Darwin<\/li>\n<li>On the Abolition of the Slave Trade\u00a0(1789) \u2014 William Wilberforce<\/li>\n<li>A Vindication of the Rights of Woman\u00a0(1792)<\/li>\n<li>Experimental Researches in Electricity\u00a0(three volumes, 1839, 1844, 1855)<\/li>\n<li>Patent Specification for Arkwright\u2019s Spinning Machine\u00a0(1769) \u2014 Richard Arkwright<\/li>\n<li>The King James Bible\u00a0(1611)<\/li>\n<li>An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations\u00a0(1776)\u00a0 &#8211; Adam Smith<\/li>\n<li>The\u00a0First Folio\u00a0(1623) \u2014 William Shakespeare<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>My favorite chapters were on Isaac Newton, Magna Carta, William Wilberforce, the King James Bible, Adam Smith and Shakespeare.<\/p>\n<p>Anytime a person makes a personal list of world changing anything, others will have their own list and will dispute the choice. I am sure the United States, Canada, China, and France will have their own lists.<\/p>\n<p>Books are one medium where ideas are shared, what about the movies? I believe more people today watch movies than read books. Have you ever heard a person say that since they graduated from college, they have read very few books but love to watch movies? I Googled <a href=\"http:\/\/www.famouswhy.com\/List\/10_Famous_Movies_That_Changed_The_World\/827.html\">movies that changed the world.<\/a> A typical list includes <em>The Birth of a Nation, A Thin Blue Line, Triumph of the Will, An Inconvenient Truth, Jaws, 2001 a Space Odyssey <\/em>and others.<\/p>\n<p>Other movie news clips that changed the world I remember growing up were the landing on the moon, the first pictures of the atomic bomb, the assassination of JFK and 911 towers collapsing.<\/p>\n<p>We all have our favorite lists of books or movies. What is important is the personal reflection about why we choose these books and movies. Over the years, I have developed a list of books that have formed my thoughts and values about leadership. My leadership favorite books are:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>1. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Bible<\/span>( Proverbs, Nehemiah, The Gospels and Acts)<\/li>\n<li>2. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Seven Habits of Highly Effective People<\/span> by Stephen Covey<\/li>\n<li>3. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Master-planning<\/span> by Bob Biehl<\/li>\n<li>4. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">The Franklin Time Management System<\/span>, by Hyrum Smith<\/li>\n<li>5. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">The One Minute Manager<\/span> by Ken Blanchard<\/li>\n<li>6. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Principle-Centered Leadership<\/span> by Stephen Covey<\/li>\n<li>7. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Lincoln on Leadership<\/span> by Donald T.
