Resources 12 Books Our Team Is Reading Now The most successful and influential people have one thing in common – a passion for reading. Why? Because they know that to grow, they need to learn something new every day. They crave this knowl- edge because it sets them apart from others. Ideas spawn, conversations begin. I recently read that Warren Buffet reads at least 500 pages a day, but he also schedules dedicated time to discuss his new-found thoughts with others. Thus, great conversations and concepts are born. There are many studies that show the importance of exercising your brain and how significant it is in professional development. In this age of podcasts and blogs, it is still a good idea to set aside time to pick up a good book for more in-depth insights. To help you get started, we compiled a list of 12 business books our team found noteworthy this year – consider it a book a month club. We hope many make it to your read- ing list in the future. We look forward to having healthy, robust conversations with you about these soon.
