1. Good to Great
by Jim Collins
“The books ties into the idea that eventually people build organisations and it is a constant work. It takes strategy to leadership.”Â
2. The Age of Turbulence
by Alan Greenspan
“This is not a business book but on Economics. The levers that affect our businesses are in the hands of various decisions (& makers) who have different priorities and incentives. It’s mportant to understand those.”
3. The Goal
by Eli Goldratt and Jeff Cox
“One of the all time favourites around the importance of the fact that multiple short-term, local optima leads to chaos and not long-term global optima.”
4. Bag It All
by Nina Lekhi and Suman Chhabria Addepalli
“A good one to underline the unbelievable power of compounding in small businesses and how one things adds to10, as long as you are at it.”
“I don’t have a fifth in the list because I rarely read business books. Thanks for reminding me I need to read more.”
