I hear
Good to Great by Jim Collins is fantastic, and should be a staple for any employee and CEO. When I was with PlateSpin it was mandatory reading for the sales team (I never got to it then, but have started reading it recently).
I think CEO's should also read books by Seth Godin, like Linchpin. I hear Made to Stick is a phenomenal book about ideas. As you may have noticed I have a ton of books in my reading list.
Do we have to limit this thread to books? How bout blog articles?
One of my all-time favourite blog articles of all time is by blogger/author/entrepreneur Pam Slim.
