Suggested Reading List
The following books are suggested reading. Some are my choice and others come from some of our corporate leaders and their staffs around the U.S. Some of those who have been kind enough to forward their thoughts are: Anthony DeSantis of 21 Century Insurance; R. David Hoover of Ball Corporation; Thomas Miller of Cabela’s Sporting Goods; Ken Hicks of Foot Locker, Goodrich Corp, FedEx Corp, Hilton Hotels, and Dell Corp.
