Business Books That Need A Good Reading

There’s a growing stack of business books here on my desk that are in need of reading. I’m not making any New Year’s resolutions – I’ve done my share with the personal development I am putting towards the Montreal Goal Cultivator Community – but I am going to strike through the following reads. Don’t be surprised if some of these titles appear as selections for upcoming Montreal Business Book Club evenings.
Here they are in no particular order. If you’ve had a chance to devour them, I would love your feedback. You can email me – I’d also love to know what your business book stack looks like.
– Often Wrong, Never In Doubt – Unleash The Business Rebel Within by Donny Deutsch with Peter Knobler.
– Alpha Dogs – Eight Strategies For Success – How Your Small Business Can Become A Leader Of The Pack by Donna Fenn.
– Executive Intelligence – What All Great Leaders Have by Justin Menkes.
– Experience the Message – How Experiential Marketing Is Changing The Brand World by Max Lenderman.
– The World Is Flat – A Brief History Of The Twenty-First Century by Thomas L. Friedman.
– Guts! – Companies That Blow The Doors Off Business-as-usual by Kevin Freiberg and Jackie Freiberg.
A special thanks to the kind people at HarperCollins Canada and Random House Canada who keep me in the loop.
