If you want to grow a powerful company, you need powerful thinking, and books are one of the fastest ways to access it.
In this episode, Eleanor shares the seven business books that have most shaped her leadership, decision-making, and ability to scale into the top 1% of women entrepreneurs globally. These are not trendy titles or surface-level reads. They are foundational works that influenced how she thinks about power, profit architecture, capacity, abundance, product design, onboarding, and sales.
Listen in today as Eleanor breaks down why each book matters, what it unlocked in her own company, and how these ideas can help ambitious women CEOs scale sustainably. If you are serious about building a high-growth company with strength, profitability, and strategic depth, this reading list will expand how you think and operate.
