Good to Great

The manager that hired me at my current company gave this book to me as a holiday gift. He said that he had read many business books, and few resonate, but this one did. And I'll admit, it is interesting in that the author had an entire team dive into data to figure out how companies went from good – as in, profitable but nothing special – to way out-performing their competitors based on share value. The author then took the findings and reduced them to some graspable concepts, linked together with vignettes from each of the “Good to Great” companies to drive the concepts home.

But in the end, it's still a business book, and therefore, not necessarily fun for me to read, personally.
