of success, the ten ways to make yourself a better manager, the 100 richest
people in the world.
As well as these books, there is another style of business book: the bi-
ography or autobiography of the successful business person. These days, it
seems, no one can become the CEO (Chief Executive Officer) of even a
small company without putting pen to paper and telling the story of their rise
to the top, especially if they have a personal tragic story to overcome, or
some fantastic ideas to share. In one of these books, a fairly well-known CEO
says “Everything I know about business, I’ve learned myself” which makes
me wonder why people would buy his book.
Some of these books sell by the thousands, often appearing in the best-
seller lists alongside blockbusting works of fiction. Who is buying them, and
what do they learn? Are these books essential tools for the modern work-
place, or just a way for publishers to make money?
Undoubtedly some books do become vital textbooks for students of
business at any level, and some of the biographies can hold valuable lessons
for any aspiring or practicing entrepreneurs. However, the accusation that
many of these books are creating unnecessary jargon, words and terms which
complicate, not simplify, the world of business, also seems true.
