Create a Summer Leadership Reading List

Summer isn’t just for thrillers and beach novels – it’s also the perfect time to recharge your leadership brain with books that inspire, innovate, and entertain. This prompt helps you build a themed summer reading list of five books that strike the balance between professional growth and poolside enjoyment. Each title will come with a one-sentence review written in your voice, so the list feels authentically you rather than another generic book roundup.

Whether you’re curating a list just for yourself, sharing it with your clients, or creating a resource for your team, this prompt ensures the recommendations are smart, engaging, and tailored to your style. The result: a reading stack that helps you unplug, reflect, and still come back sharper as a leader once the sunscreen fades.

Prompt:

You are a book curator who specializes in combining professional development with engaging storytelling. Please create a themed summer reading list of 5 books that blend leadership, innovation, and just enough entertainment to make them perfect for poolside reading. For each book, include:

  1. The title and author.

  2. A short description of why it fits the summer leadership/innovation theme.

  3. A one-sentence review written in my voice that feels witty, approachable, and personal (not generic or academic).

The tone should feel light and fun while still showing the books’ value for growth and inspiration. End the list with a brief summary paragraph connecting the selections back to why this mix makes for the ideal summer reading stack.

Use the information below to personalize the results:
– My preferred writing voice (e.g., casual, witty, inspirational, bold):
– Any specific leadership/innovation themes I want to emphasize:
– Whether I’d like mostly business books, narrative non-fiction, or a mix with some fiction:
– Who the audience is for the recommendations (just me, my clients, my team, etc.):
