Some pretty good lessons on characteristics of an entrepreneur. Reads like a school text book with questions at the end of each chapter though. Got it for free on Kindle so I can't complain about value.

This is a compilation of stories of companies and leaders who you can learn something from. I found most of them really interesting, easy to read and applicable for many others businesses and situations.
Worth reading...

This was a GREAT book. It focused on a variety of companies that were on the bring of disaster- such as Mc Donalds to Leggo- and what the staff and leaders did to pull them out of trouble. GREAT read for anyone who is concerned with budget.... customer service or product development!

Read this for free on Blackberry Kindle... Fairly informative casual read. I'd recommend this if you can get it for free ;)
