Friday, December 23, 2005


Well, what's a tradition if you don't keep it up?

So, here we go, the annual recap of the Best Business Books of 2005, well, at least in my humble opinion:

  1. Blue Ocean Strategy - W. Chan Kim and Renee Mauborgne
  2. All Marketers are Liars - Seth Godin
  3. Strategy Bites Back - Henry Mintzberg, Bruce Ahlstrand and Joseph Lampel
  4. It's Not What You Say... It's What You Do - Laurence Haughton
  5. Freakanomics - Steven Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner
  6. The Ten Faces of Innovation - Thomas Kelley and Jonathan Littman
  7. A Whole New Mind - Daniel H. Pink
  8. Collapse - Jared Diamond

So, on your Boxing Day travels, or if your brave enough to pick these up amongst the holiday madness, enjoy. They got me through the year, the led to some amazing Leadership Development Workshops, and they brought a million thoughts to the table.

Happy Holidays! See you in 2006!
