《財富》雜志主編爆料:CEO們今夏都要看什么書?
還在策劃夏季書單?我們在《財富》500強CEO調查中,請CEO們列出了去年他們讀過的最好的一本書。結果我們收到了各種答案,只有一本書得到了超過一名CEO的推薦——馬爾科姆·格拉德威爾的《異類》(Outliers),有兩位CEO推薦。值得注意的是,這本書的出版時間是2011年,這表明首席執行官們沒有太多時間進行“課外閱讀”。 以下是CEO們提到的最新的幾本書: 《創始人精神》(The Founder’s Mentality),作者:克里斯·祖克與詹姆斯·艾倫 《茁壯成長》(Thrive),作者:阿里安娜·郝芬頓 《OGO》,作者:大衛·諾瓦克 《當呼吸化為空氣》(When Breath Becomes Air),作者:保羅·卡拉尼希 《野蠻歲月:沖浪人生》(Barbarian Days; A Surfing Life),作者:威廉·菲尼根 《看門人》(The Gatekeepers),作者:克里斯·惠普爾 《心上的刺青:無限慈悲的力量》(Tattoos on the Heart: The Power of Boundless Compassion),作者:格雷戈里·博伊爾 《思維解謎》(The Undoing Project),作者:邁克爾·劉易斯 《夏月帝國》(Empire of the Summer Moon),作者:S.C. 格溫 《全力爭取》(Earning It),作者:喬安·魯布林 《鄉下人的悲歌》(Hillbilly Elegy),作者:J.D. 萬斯 我還在此基礎上添加了尤瓦爾·赫拉利的兩本書,分別是《人類簡史 (Sapiens)和《未來簡史》(Homo Deus)。第一本是我在十年內讀過最好的一本書。 另外,我們還請CEO們列舉了他們讀過的最優秀的商業管理類圖書。猜猜哪本書榮登榜單第一名?是吉姆·柯林斯的《從優秀到卓越》(Good to Great)。(財富中文網) 譯者:劉進龍/汪皓 |
Still working on your summer reading list? As part of our survey of Fortune 500 CEOs, we asked them to tell us the best book they have read in the last year. The result is an eclectic mix, with only one book getting more than one mention—Malcolm Gladwell’s Outliers, cited by two of the CEOs. Worth noting it was published in 2011…which suggests our chiefs don’t have a lot of time for outside reading. Below are some more recent books that were mentioned. The Founder’s Mentality, by Chris Zook and James Allen Thrive, by Arianna Huffington OGO, by David Novak When Breath Becomes Air, by Paul Kalanithi Barbarian Days; A Surfing Life, William Finnegan The Gatekeepers, by Chris Whipple Tattoos on the Heart: The Power of Boundless Compassion, by Gregory Boyle The Undoing Project, by Michael Lewis Empire of the Summer Moon, by S.C. Gwynne Earning It, by Joann Lublin Hillbilly Elegy, by J.D. Vance I’d add two books by Yuval Harari, Sapiens and Homo Deus. The first is the best book I’ve read in a decade. We also asked the CEOs to name the best business or management book they had ever read. Number one on that list? Good to Great, by Jim Collins. |
