	Information Markets: What Businesses Can Learn from Financial Innovation, by William J. Wilhelm, Jr., and Joseph D. Downing, is the finance professional’s must-have guide to understanding the changing role of information and intermediaries in the financial markets. The authors draw lessons from the experience of financial intermediaries and illustrate these lessons through a variety of fascinating case studies.
	In Primal Leadership: Realizing the Power of Emotional Intelligence, by Daniel Goleman, Richard Boyatzis, and Annie McKee, the authors unveil scientific evidence that links organizational success or failure to “primal leadership.” They argue that a leader’s emotions are contagious and must resonate energy and enthusiasm if an organization is to thrive.
	Cultivating Communities of Practice: A Guide to Managing Knowledge, by Etienne Wenger, Richard McDermott, and William M. Snyder, maintains that communities of practice — groups of individuals formed around common interests and expertise — provide the ideal vehicle for driving knowledge-management strategies and building lasting competitive advantage.
	In The Elephant and the Flea: Reflections of a Reluctant Capitalist, eminent social philosopher and international business guru Charles Handy offers both a poignant personal memoir and a deep reflection on the past and future of world capitalism, with all its possibilities and pitfalls.
	Based on the real-world experiences of global business leaders, Developing Global Executives: The Lessons of International Experience, by Morgan W. McCall, Jr., and George P. Hollenbeck, gives an in-depth look at what it takes for organizations to groom, and individuals to become, successful international executives.
