The 100 Best Business Books

The new book 100 Best Business Books of All Time is now out.

In this video, 800CEORead's president, Todd Sattersten,talks about the five themes they looked for in books to make their picks.

  1. clarity of purpose
  2. wisdom in decision-making
  3. does it inspire action
  4. does it encourage openness to change
  5. does it encourage leaders to seek feedback
The list is a smorgasbord assembled from these areas:
  • Self-improvement
  • leadership
  • strategy
  • sales and marketing
  • rules and scorekeeping
  • management
  • biographies
  • entrepreneurship
  • narratives
  • innovation and creativity
  • big ideas
  • takeaways
I'll be talking with Sattersten next week. If you have questions for him (he's just read 100 books on business, after all), post in comments or send them to me.
