1. Profit First – Mike Michalowicz – learn how to get organised with your money
2. The Buck Starts Here – Alan M Dobzinski – Get yourself and your team to be accountable.

Carl really hit the nail on the head with some of the top recommendations I’d have, especially Principles & Laws of Human Nature. On the topic of business/personal development, I’d add Poor Charlies Almanac.
One concept I’d highly recommend, not only for business but also personal life are books related to meditation. There’s a tremendous amount of research showing the benefits of meditation for everything from focus to happiness. The best ones I’ve read so far are Waking Up by Sam Harris, The Art of Happiness (at work) & The Book of Joy by the Dalai Lama, and for more practical use 10% Happier and Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics by Dan Harris.
