“The Snowball: Warren Buffett and the Business of Life,” by Alice Schroeder; “Miles: The Autobiography,” by Miles Davis and Quincy Troupe; and “A Random Walk Down Wall Street,” by Burton G. Maikiel (“A great guide to business investing that highlights the fallacies in finding comfort following the pack.”)

Ryan Pfenninger
“I read hundreds of articles every day mainly covering tech/biotech and finance,” Pfenninger said. “It’s easy to draw inspiration from all the interesting things that other people are doing, especially in tech and medicine.”

Nickolas Williams
“Money: Master the Game,” by Tony Robbins and “Outlier,” by Malcolm Gladwell

Steven Meyer
“The Metropolitan Revolution,” by Bruce Katz and Jennifer Bradley. “I think we’re seeing it even more now than when the book was written that federal and state governments aren’t as focused on solving problems as municipalities have to be. You don’t get re-elected as mayor if the streets don’t get plowed.”

Vincent Viveros
“Outliers,” by Malcom Gladwell, “provides an interesting framework for understanding success,” he said, but added, “Books are interesting, but I’ve found that building a network full of people I aspire to be like is most impactful. It helps me connect the dots from what I’ve read to the real world.”

Andrew Appel
“At Chubb, I had an interim manager, Dieter Korte, who showed me the impact a manager can have when they consistently make time for their colleagues. It’s something I strive to emulate.” He also cites Roy Geesa, who was a sales manager when Appel arrived at the family company. “He never hesitated to do everything he could to develop me and help me to succeed, knowing full well that in a family organization, he may well have been developing his successor.”

Adrianne Slash
“I have been surrounded by strong community leaders, each having their own legacies of impact on Indianapolis,” she said, specifically noting Nichole Wilson of Community Health Network, Holli Harrington of the Indianapolis Airport Authority, Tony Mason of the Indianapolis Urban League, “and I have my dad [Joe Slash], one of the city’s greatest public servants right in my own family.”
