Insight from the former CEO of Johnson Controls, Alex A Molinaroli

He begins by sharing what he believes to be the essential book for anyone looking to understand how a company should operate: “The Goal” by Eliyahu M Goldratt and Jeff Cox. This book teaches readers how setting clear goals is essential if you want your company to succeed – something that Molinaroli learned firsthand as he saw this idea put into action during his time at Johnson Controls.

Next up is “The Innovator’s Dilemma” by Clayton Christensen, which discusses the reasons why large corporations struggle to keep up with smaller, more nimble competitors.

The final book that had a significant impact on Molinaroli is “The Hard Thing About Hard Things” by Ben Horowitz, which he describes as not just a fantastic business book but also one of the most honest books about what it takes to run and build a startup. It played such an essential role in his life that he could write his book called “Reimagining: Realizing Business Transformation” alongside Jeff Cox, with whom he co-authored “The Goal.”

These three books have impacted him that he even teamed up with one of the authors to write his book called “Reimagining: Realizing Business Transformation.”
