2010 Reading List for MBA Students

2010 has been a great year.  Just before 2010, a friend of mine gave me inspiration to think “BIG.”  I vow to never sell myself short and to work with a purpose.  I continue to receive mentoring from top executives, friends, and classmates from the MBA program.

There are two ways of learning, which is to read and explore. This year I have read several books to enhance my business acumen and learn new skill sets.
