Top Three Business Books of 2010

We are at the time of year when everyone is talking about their favorite things of 2010 and lots of lists are created. So here goes my thoughts on my personal favorite business books of this year.

In no particular order they are:

-The Mesh by Lisa Gansky. This book highlights the importance of sharing in all that we do in what has become a very transparent world. Based on all the great digital media this book reinforces how business need to evolve and change in this new dynamic marketplace.

-Delivering Happiness by Tony Hsieh. As the CEO of Zappos Tony has created an unbelievable culture of customer service. Very few companies can deliver this type of service and yet when Tony explains it - it all seems very easy to duplicate.

-The Presentation Secrets of Steve Jobs by Carmine Gallo. Certainly considered one of the best business presenters of our time - this is a fascinating look at how Steve delivers such terrific engaging presentations.

These three books cover a diverse range of business topics and they are the ones that made a big impact with me in 2010.

One book that I didn't get to finish this year was "Spend Shift" by John Gerezma. It's next on my list to read in 2011.

What books inspired you in 2010? What books are you looking forward to reading in 2011?
