"A Life in War and Peace” by Kofi Annan. I know this is not the typical business book, but I spent the first 20 years of my life in Africa, and in my teens, I watched a man who looked like me and spoke like me lead other world leaders through major geopolitical events. Kofi Annan made me believe that where I was born and the opportunities [or lack of] I had would only be limiting if I let it and could be an advantage. “Interventions” is his memoir."
