Zuckerberg Practicing Stephen Covey's 7th Habit for Effectiveness


Sharpen the Saw




Zuckerberg announced his reading challenge for the year 2015. It is good. It will give good advertisement to reading books. These days it was forgotten. Independent of it I started my reading challenge of management books for the year 2015. I hope to read many books to update this blog this year in a serious manner.  I started a facebook to post my reading of management books.
