reads about 50 books every year, Mark Cuban reads three hours every
day, Mark Zuckerberg resolved to read 24 books in a year, and Warren Buffett spends 80 percent of his day reading. Perhaps like you, I like to learn and improve my skills as a leader, so I'm always curious about what the most successful entrepreneurs on the planet are currently reading or recommending for reading. But where do you go for that? Luckily, a one-stop solution to address that compulsive need was recently launched. BookAuthority
provides endless recommendations from hundreds of leaders such as
Gates, Branson, Buffett, Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg, and Cook, giving
voracious readers a personalized reading list tailored just for them. Here are three top recommendations by Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, and Jeff Bezos, straight from BookAuthority. 1. Shoe Dog: A Memoir by the Creator of Nike, by Phil Knight. In this instant and tenacious New York Times
bestseller, Nike founder and board chairman Phil Knight "offers a rare
and revealing look at the notoriously media-shy man behind the swoosh,"
opening up about his company's early days as an intrepid startup and its
evolution into one of the world's most iconic, game-changing, and
profitable brands. 2. Stress Test: Reflections on Financial Crises, by Timothy F. Geithner 3. The Myth of the Strong Leader: Political Leadership in the Modern Age, by Archie Brown 1. The Innovator's Dilemma: When New Technologies Cause Great Firms to Fail, by Clayton M. Christensen Named
one of 100 Leadership & Success Books to Read in a Lifetime by
Amazon Editors, this is considered an innovation classic. Christensen's
work is cited by the world's best-known thought leaders, from Steve Jobs
to Malcolm Gladwell. 2. Sam Walton, Made in America, by Sam Walton 3. Data-Driven Marketing: The 15 Metrics Everyone in Marketing Should Know, by Mark Jeffery 1. The Outsiders: Eight Unconventional CEOs and Their Radically Rational Blueprint for Success, by William N. Thorndike Listed
at No. 1 on Buffett's recommended reading list, this book details the
extraordinary success of eight individualistic CEOs who took a radically
different approach to corporate management. You may not know all their
names, but you will recognize their companies: General Cinema, Ralston
Purina, The Washington Post Company, Berkshire Hathaway, General
Dynamics, Capital Cities Broadcasting, TCI, and Teledyne. 2. The Most Important Thing Illuminated: Uncommon Sense for the Thoughtful Investor, by Howard Marks and Paul Johnson 3. Dream Big, by Cristiane Correa In
just over 40 years, Jorge Paulo Lemann, Marcel Telles, and Beto
Sicupira built the biggest empire in the history of Brazilian capitalism
and launched themselves onto the world stage in an unprecedented way.
This is their story. Lemann, a partner of Buffett's, is hailed by
Buffett as "among the best businessmen in the world. He is a fantastic
person and his story should be an inspiration to everybody, as it is for
me." You may also access this article through our web-site http://www.lokvani.com/ |
