What Three Books Have Had the Biggest Impact on You as a Business Leader?

How to Win friends and influence People by Dale Carnegie
The Psychology of winning by Dr Dennis Waitley
The 7 Habits of Highly Successful People by Stephen Covey
Over The Top by Zig Ziglar

Cetainly this is by far not exhaustive and I have a hard ime to weight them or number them, but I believe the order in which I read them, and topics sort of build together. Although it was years ago I read them some more than 1x, I refer to many of them to this day.

I would recommend certainly the first three even for the youngest reader.
