DETAILS - I downloaded some 150+ free book summaries. Below are some of my favorite book summaries:

• Execution - The discipline of getting things done, by Larry Bossidy and Ram Charan (make sure you read all of Charan's books, he's an amazing strategist and writes such clear prose!)
• Inside the Guru mind series - Richard Branson
• Inside the Guru mind series - Warren Buffett
• The Trusted Advisor, by David Maister

Some of the authors are worth reading carefully (Gary Hamel, Tom Peters, Shoshana Zuboff, C.K. Prahalad, Warren Buffett, Jack Welch), other authors should only be read quickly because although they provide a few good ideas, they somehow do not provide a comprehensive framework that has lasting value or predictive capability.
