One of my favorite activities of each holiday season is to round up and write about best business books of the year lists.
2016 has been a tumultuous year to say the least, but it’s been a great one for business and leadership books, as demonstrated by these lists:
Bloomberg: Best Books of 2016
CNBC: Richard Branson shares the 5 best leadership books he read in 2016
The Economist: Books of the Year
Fast Company: The 10 Best Business Books of 2016
Financial Times: The best thing I read all year — 2016
