Business executives are, by necessity, book readers. They read autobiographies of successful businessmen. They read business histories. They read books that give them advice on how to be a better business leader, manager, entrepreneur. They read anything that will give them a handle on predicting the future. They read about new management techniques – TQM, re-engineering. On occasion, they even turn to business classics. Why not take a few minutes and learn how to read a business book.
