(..and how to read four of them in an hour)
The extent of our knowledge drives the options available to us and the important choices we make between them. To the extent that knowledge is gained by reading, there is so much available that knowing what to read is critical.
Vistage members have access to a “Lead and Read” network where Members and Chairs recommend reading vetted reading options to each other. This past week, the” Lead and Read Network” selected three lists of books for businesspeople that may help you choose. As a New Year’s gift, here are those lists for our friends outside of Vistage. We hope it helps you pick the books that will make a real difference for you and your team.

- From Fast Company – The best new business books CEOs read in 2022
- From Forbes – 10 Best Business Books Of 2022
If you despair of even reading a fraction of these over the coming year, fear not! There is a wonderful app, Blinkist, that offers 15-minute summaries (text or audio) of the most popular business and other non-fiction books (over 5,500 in all). You can absorb the important parts of four books in an hour for $8.34 per month (there’s a free trial). They also have an app called “Blinkist Business” to accelerate your team’s learning edge.
Happy reading (and leading) in 2023!
