Top 10 Business Books 1. Shine- Chris Barez-Brown
We all have good days and bad days at work. Some days you feel bullet proof- people listen to you, your meetings run like clockwork, and you keep having new ideas. Other days are like wading through quick sand. You can’t get anything done, and when the printer jams (again) you want to quit.
Wouldn’t it be great if every day went your way? If you jumped out of bed every morning ready for anything? You can stand out, break the rules and make things happen. You can be a bit more ‘Elvis’. You can love every minute. The only limit is you: your energy, your belief, your perspective.

5. Making Ideas Happen- Scott Belsky
Thomas Edison famously said that genius is 1% inspiration, 99% perspiration. Every day new solutions, revolutionary cures, and artistic
breakthroughs are
conceived and squandered by smart people. Along with the gift of creativity come the obstacles to making ideas happen: lack of organisation, lack of accountability and a lack of community support.
While many of us obsess about discovering great new ideas,
Belsky shows why it is better to develop the capacity to make ideas happen - using old-fashioned passion and perspiration. Making Ideas Happen reveals the practical yet counterintuitive techniques of ‘serial creatives’ - those few who make their visions a reality.
2. The Lean Startup- Eric Reiss
Most new businesses fail. But most of those failures are preventable. The Lean Startup is a new approach to business that’s being adopted around the world. It is changing the way companies are built and how products are launched.
The Lean Startup is about learning what your customers really want. It’s about testing your vision continuously, adapting and adjusting before it’s too late. Now is the time to think Lean.
