CONCORDVILLE, Pa. -- Today Soundview Executive Book Summaries (www.SoundviewSummary.com), the global leader in business book summaries, revealed its picks for the 30 Best Business Books of 2006. The annual list is compiled by Soundview's executive editors, who whittled down their choices from over 1,200 business books written in 2006. The complete list is available at http://tinyurl.com/y2q3e6.> "If businesspeople read any 30 books this year, it should be these," says Rebecca Clement, Publisher of Soundview Executive Book Summaries. "Certainly 2006 featured everything from traditional leadership books to radical business theories and practices, and we worked hard to put together a list that truly reflects the diversity of the business world. This is one more way Soundview helps busy executives stay on top of emerging business trends--no matter what industry--to help further their careers and run a better, more productive business."
This year's books reflected the bigger business trend towards technology and innovation, while leadership books continue to make an impact. Recent best-selling author Steven M.R. Covey made an appearance on the list with "The Speed of Trust", as did Frances Hesselbein and Marshall Goldsmith with their best-selling sequel "The Leader of the Future 2".
The list also included a few new faces, such as Pip Coburn's "The Change Function" and Bo Burlington's "Small Giants". Likewise, "Naked Conversations" by Robert Scoble and Shel Israel marks the first time a book about blogging has made the list.
