In Monday’s Blog we identified two unconventional and interesting reads: Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Sneetches. Both books were written for children, yet both present relevant insight into business and organizational behavior.
Today we present 10 business books we suggest you read. Some you already may have, some you have likely heard of, and some not. We stayed away from the obvious books such as Jim Collins’ Good to Great. It’s an excellent book, though we wanted to introduce books that you may not know about.
Our 10 suggestions listed under business related topics:
