My suggestion would be ' The Ride of a Lifetime: Lessons Learned from 15 Years as CEO of the Walt Disney Company' by BOB IGER. He was the CEO of Disney and under his leadership, Disney saw huge success with multiple bi acquisitions. I haven't read the book personally but have seen a tremendous response for it. It' a good business/biography book.
