Books have the power to transform lives and businesses. With our section “The favorite books of…”, we introduce you to the favourite books of some of the most successful internet entrepreneurs. Today we’re looking at the bookshelf of Charles von Abercron and Jan Beckers.
Charles von Abercron, Co-Founder and CEO of GlossyBox
A few weeks ago we did an interview with Charles, where we asked him about which books had helped him most during his entrepreneurial endeavors. He answered: “I really enjoyed Onward by Howard Schultz. It really shows what a tremendous impact a proper vision and culture can have on the success of a company over decades. Another great book is Delivering Happiness by Tony Hsieh as it teaches you so much about focusing and appreciating your customers.”
Jan Beckers, Co-Founder and CEO of the HitFox Group
In an interview back in April 2013, we asked Jan Beckers about the books that had helped him the most. In his answer he mentioned the autobiography of Warren Buffett, which he described as good book for general business learnings. As his second favourite business book he listed The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey, which is a great book on self leadership.
