As Soundview’s Senior Editor Andrew Clancy observed, “This proved to be an interesting year for business books. In a year during which world governments struggled with economic pressures and internal breakdowns, a clear lack of communication has been routinely cited as a major symptom of global problems. This was reflected in the business books that rose to the top of many people’s reading lists. In an era in which communication occurs in an instant, executives should take more than a moment to read and learn from the summaries above.”
