What We're Saying
The strategy + business annual books list is always one of the finest and most anticipated of the year. They get really smart and talented people who know how to pick 'em, and have them write (always highly intelligent and insightful) essays on their category—and, of course, the books in it.

The eye-opening examples in Walk the Walk will inspire leaders at all levels.
