<p>Of the business books you or your student have read…</p>
<p>which have been the most “accessible”, interesting etc</p>
<p>without being a drudgery to wade through :rolleyes:</p>
<p>Need recs. Thanks</p>
<p>This is not so much a recommendation but perhaps a suggestion to check out…my book group made up of mostly mothers-of-daughters has proposed Lean In by Sheryl Sandberg. I would love feedback from anyone who has read this. Thanks!</p>
<p>For having your own business: EntreLeadership: 20 Years of Practical Business Wisdom from the Trenches By Dave Ramsey - Howard Books - 2011 - Hardback - 305 pages - ISBN 1451617852 </p>

<p>I have not read either but listen to a radio show and they are supposedly rather good. If these kinds of books are not what you are talking about, I apologize, I wasn’t totally sure what you meant.</p>
<p>‘The Effective Executive’ by Peter Drucker. An oldie but a goodie, short and to the point.</p>
<p>Some of the books recommended by my professors:
The Secret Handshake (business politics)
The No A**hole Rule… (how to deal with workplace bullies)</p>
<p>As someone enters a business career, I think the most useful book is “Dealing with Difficult People”. You’ll use it a lot more than any pure business book.</p>
<p>Thanks
:)</p>
<p>I would strongly recommend Lean In.</p>
<p>Although not “how to” business book, you might want to read The New Digital Age by Schmidt and Cohen. I am reading it now and it is fascinating to see what the future might look like.</p>
<p>QBQ - the question behind the question. I have my employees read it. It’s all about taking personal responsibility in your job and how to give superior customer service. It’s a super easy read. If someone ever came in discussing this stuff I’d jump over the table and hire them on the spot.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Right!</p>
<p>I like the idea of “business” books that expose folks just starting out to “issues” that they wouldn’t have encountered in their classes…different ways to think about things. That is why I recommended Lean In. It has been a bit controversial, and whether one agrees with the author or not, it presents issues that many college students probably hasn’t encountered or considered.</p>
