Welcome to the leadership class’s reading blog! I know you’re excited and ready to share the details of the books and articles you read.
In the article, “C.E.O. Libraries Reveal Keys to Success“ Harriet Rubin interviews CEOs from different types of companies and discusses the genres these business leaders read. Guess what, it’s not business books! “Serious leaders who are serious readers build personal libraries dedicated to how to think, not how to compete.” Successful business people read a wide variety of topics; one of them is quoted in the article as follows: “As head of a global company, everything attracts me as a reader, books about different cultures, countries, problems. I read for pleasure and to find other perspectives on how to think or solve a problem…” Another stated: “advertising is a great field, anything prepares you for it…that gives me license to read everything.”
