3. Management Challenges for the 21st Century - by Peter F. Drucker
As you probably already know, in a gathering of experts on the subject, one name stands way above all the rest when it comes to business management and leadership. His name is Peter F. Drucker.
Being an expert of the industry and writing about it for a staggering 80 years, Drucker is not just talking from theory. He has been there and done that, when it comes to business and management.
This audiobook title explores in depth how 21st century management challenges can be handled by business professionals.
4. Jack: Straight from the Gut - by Jack Welch
There's no denying the fact that Jack Welch is one of the world's most successful CEOs ever.
In this powerful thought-provoking audio book, he tells his story detailing how you can follow his steps to become one of the most successful persons in your career today.
5. Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap - by Jim Collins
You can't argue with the fact that "without the techniques and strategies, no company or business can excel beyond a few days, weeks or even months".
Companies that have been around for years and years, are still around for a reason, they know what to do, and they have done it right.
The author has taken quite some time to collate the results from his extensive studies of companies who have had business success for many, many years - looking into what they are doing so right, that their counterparts are not.
The power of the information contained within this business audio book can help any business person to succeed.
I can guarantee that the five audio books I have selected (and have listened to in-depth myself) can really boost both your career and your business if you are willing to apply what you learn from them.
