Praise for
50 Business Classics

Nobody explains the gist of books better than Tom ButlerBowdon, as he demonstrates to great effect in 50 Business Classics. He curates essential wisdom written by leading practitioners, such as Richard Branson, Howard Schultz, and Sheryl Sandberg, the most astute observers (Peter Drucker, Jim Collins, and others), and master storytellers such as Walter Isaacson and Ron Chernow. The revelations about the creation of wealth, the changing nature of work and employment, and the impact of technological advancements are timely, practical, and relevant.

Teaching management, Im always looking for ways to distil knowledge for the benefit of my students. 50 Business Classics provides an excellent base of management history, mission and goal development, and ethics. Highly recommended as a tool for business and personal growth.
