Globe and Mail's Top 10 Business Books of 2011


A colleague provided me with a link to the Globe and Mail's Top 10 Business Books of 2011

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/careers/management/management-book-excerpts/top-10-business-books-of-2011/article2270068/

While each may make for some great reading, one that jumped out for me was, "Great by Choice" by Jim Collins and Morten Hansen (HarperBusiness).  The article makes the following comments:
"After his towering bestseller Good To Great, a number of critics seemed to be waiting in ambush for Mr. Collins when this book came out, looking for faults to pick. Ignore them. This is another lively, clearly written book, with his partner this time, University of California’s Prof. Hansen. It has a solid research base that adds some more clues on how to manage for success."

If in fact, this book is anything like, Good to Great, I would also recommend it to business owners wanting to discover what it takes to build a business that stands the test of time. Look for many new and wonderful lessons to help move your business forward and take it to new levels of success1"
