As Soundview’s Editor-in-Chief Sarah Dayton observed, “This proved to be an interesting year for business books. In a year during which world governments and corporations have struggled with economic pressures and internal breakdowns, strong leadership has been desperately needed. This was reflected in the business books that rose to the top of many people’s reading lists. At a time when trust in leaders has diminished even more, executives should take time to read and learn from the summaries above.”
