Book recommendations for business leaders: 1/3/17

Jan 3, 2017 | Reading Lists

Stephen King says that if you want to be a writer, there are two things you must do: read a lot and write a lot. This is about the “read a lot” part. I include reading lists and book reviews that will help you do business more effectively and write better for business.

In this post, I point you to reviews of Payoff: The Hidden Logic That Shapes Our Motivations and Money on the Table: How to Increase Profits Through Gender-Balanced Leadership. And there’s Michael McKinney’s First Look: Leadership Books for January 2017.

From Kevin Eikenberry: Payoff: The Hidden Logic That Shapes Our Motivations

“This is a short and powerful book, and so I am going to write a short, and hopefully powerful recommendation for it.”

From Skip Prichard: How to Increase Profits Through Gender-Balanced Leadership

“That’s why Melissa Greenwell’s new book, Money on the Table: How to Increase Profits Through Gender-Balanced Leadership, got my attention. Melissa is Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of national retailer The Finish Line, Inc. Her new book utilizes current research and demonstrates that more women in management equals better financial performance.”
