The holidays are upon us, and with that comes the conundrum of what to get those around you. Whether it is an office gift exchange, or a practical gift for a new graduate, business books are always at the top of my list. This is a perfect opportunity to inform and educate while gift giving. Plus, a gift card is boring!

There are some really great reference texts in your roundup. One of my favorite all time books is the 7 habits by Covey.
Thanks, Leanna. It is one of my favorites, too (7 Habits)! I asked some of my LinkedIn connections for other suggestions, and others just poured in! I am not done adding them, but I am going to try and read them all.
