We love to acquire new knowledge, think differently and share influential concepts with our clients. We are constantly asked what books we recommend for up and coming entrepreneurs, high level executives, managers of agile teams or individuals looking for personal growth. So we decided to put a list together of books we love, ones that are for every leader, entrepreneur and individual out there. We’ve even bolded a few of our favourites.
