In - 800 CEO Read Blog
The season of lists is upon us. The first ornament up on the tree was Steve Coll's Private Empire: ExxonMobil and American Power, published by The Penguin Press, which took home the Financial Times and Goldman Sachs Business Book of the Year earlier this month. And there was another large nonfiction title related to economics—Why Nations Fail: The Origins of Power, Prosperity, and Poverty by Daron Acemoglu and James A. Robinson and published by Crown Business—on a list of The 10 best books of 2012 from the Washington Post.
CNNMoney put up a list of The 5 must-read business books of the year two weeks ago that included:
- Turn the Ship Around!: How to Create Leadership at Every Level by David Marquet, Greenleaf Books Group
- Uncommon Service: How to Win by Putting Customers at the Core of Your Business by Frances Frei and Anne Morriss, Harvard Business Review Press
- Abundance: The Future Is Better Than You Think by Peter Diamandis, Free Press
- The Only Way to Win: How Building Character Helps You Achieve More and Find Greater Fulfillment in Business and Life by Jim Loehr, Hyperion Books
- Inside Apple: How America's Most Admired—And Secretive—Company Really Works by Adam Lashinsky, Business Plus
Late last month (unnoticed by us until searching for the list we know they put out every year this morning), Hudson Booksellers announced their Best Books of 2012. Being an airport bookstore, they always stock and sell a lot of business titles, and always include a Business Interest section of their yearly list. This year's included:
- Leadership 2.0 by Travis Bradberry & Jean Greaves, Talentsmart

- The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business by Charles Duhigg, Random House

- Heart, Smart, Guts and Luck: What It Takes to Be an Entrepreneur and Build a Great Business by Anthony K. Tjan, Richard J. Harrington, & Tsun-Yan Hsieh, Harvard Business Review Press
And, finishing up this morning's round up, we have a list from Fast Company put out today, which includes the following 12 titles:
