Here are our favourite business books that we’ve enjoyed in our quiet moments and we’ll add to it as we find more…

1. Getting Things Done: How to Achieve Stress-free Productivity
A great book on time management, you may know quite a bit about setting your daily and weekly priorities but David Allen puts it all together in a system most people should be able to implement.

2. 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
Classic text from Steven Covey, the text that will develop the core skills you need to enhance your success.

3. Getting To Yes: Negotiating agreement without giving in
If you negotiate, then this text covers all the key principles. From avoiding arguing over positions, to what to do if they are more powerful. This ones been in the library for a while now and we still keep coming back for reference.

4. How to Lead: What You Actually Need to Do to Manage, Lead and Succeed
How to Lead is a great book for those who either lead people or would like to in the future. Jo Owen covers more than just leadership and touches on many aspects of personal development in this text. I would imagine most people will refer to this time and time again.

5. Come into My Trading Room: A Complete Guide to Trading (Wiley Trading)
Not strictly a business book but we’ve enjoyed the occasional foray into the markets. This book covers the principles of investing and managing a portfolio of stocks and shares. Elder breaks down the principles of investing into the 3 M’s; Mind Method and Money Management.
