What the CEO Wants You to Know
By Ram Charan
Crown Publishing, 2001 - 141 pages

This book is one of the most simple business books to read and is a very general business book.  Honestly, it didn't cause any "earth shattering, business re-defining moments" for me but it is just a simple, concisely written book about the basics  More Info

Jack: Straight from the Gut
By Jack Welch & John Byrne
Warner Books, 2001 - 492 pages 

In this particular case I listened to the book on CD, which probably hurt the quality of my learning as I learn through reading and then writing about a subject.  I must say that I enjoyed this CD.  The Book on CD is about 6 hours. More Info
