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.

Great list! I have read some of them myself. I will definitely read the rest over my school break on January. Thanks for it.
Crush It is AMAZING. I actually was searching the internet for books because I just got a NookColor and this article came up. Great look on the tagging. I hesitated to click but glad I did because this is a great book list. Have actually read some of these books myself. The Dragon Fly Effect is really good. It lead me to create this really great workshop for Social Media Market Intelligence that has been a great success. It’s something that not many are doing right now but of great value.
I would like to see Who Moved My Cheese? added to the list too! If you have not read it then I recommend it. My friend also just wrote a book that I find very helpful if you are wanting to be an entrepreneur: Effortless Entrepreneur: Work Smart Play Hard Make Millions
Maybe you can add those to your list next time!
