By Wayne Rivers

Wayne regularly gets emails asking what books are the best, most transformational, eye opening, or informative. Put on the spot on a busy day, it’s sometimes difficult to give the kind of thoughtful answer the question deserves.

Please tune in this week as Wayne shares the very best business books he has encountered. And no, he doesn’t include his own books among them; that would be like cheating! What, in your opinion, are the best books? Please share with our audience in the comments.

This is the final week to register your high potential leaders for our one-of-a-kind leadership development program, The Contractor Business Boot Camp. We do not have any more classes for the rest of 2024. The last class begins on Oct 24-25 in Raleigh, NC. Please contact Charlotte today at ckopp3@performanceconstruction.com to find out more.
