The holidays and the New Year, a time to relax a bit and recharge your battery. It’s also an opportunity to break away for awhile and read or listen to a good book. But go online or into a bookstore and it’s easy to be a little overwhelmed by all of the choices.To help you cut through the clutter, we invited Anna Milholland to join us. She’s the business librarian at the McLeod Library at the William & Mary School of Business. She oversees the library, works closely with faculty and students, manages the databases, books, publications, and the library team. To help you choose a good book that you’ll enjoy, we asked her to recommend six books of various genres that are relevant and interesting.

When you hear the word “dominoes,” chances are you think pizza. And for good reason: There are over 20,000 Domino’s locations across the world. Domino’s is #1 in the world in quick-service restaurant pizza. It has 20% of the global market share, and 22% market share in the US. And while pizza is the heart and soul of Domino’s, company leaders see themselves in three businesses: pizza, storytelling, and technology. Joe Jordan is President, US and Global Services at Domino’s. After working at Pepsico, Unilever, and Accenure, he’s been with Domino’s for 12 years. A William & Mary graduate, he recently spoke with the school’s MBA students about the unique way Domino’s sees itself.

Twenty-five years ago she made history when she became the first woman to be named CEO of a top company. Carly Fiorina became CEO of Hewlett Packard in 1999. During her tenure as Chair and CEO, HP became the largest technology company in the world, as cash flow, revenue, and profit all grew. Since that time, she’s been working as a consultant and leadership coach in the government and private sectors. She’s written three books on leadership, and she serves on the boards of James Madison University and the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. She recently visited the William & Mary School of Business to talk with students and guests, then she joined us to discuss leadership, and the qualities and characteristics of high-quality leaders.
