A number of local CEOs and business executives, including two from Chester County, have shared their reading lists for the current year and explain what makes them excited about these titles, writes Michaela Althouse for Philadelphia magazine.

Patty Boujoukos, CCO of Wayne-based SunGard AS, said the next book on her reading list is How Great Women Lead by Bonnie St. John and Darcy Deane. She chose this book because of her 14-year-old daughter, whom she hopes will learn “what it takes to be a leader someday in whatever path she chooses.”

Meanwhile, Kim E. Fraites-Dow, CEO of the Valley Forge-based Girl Scouts of Eastern PA, has an extensive list ready for this year.

Several of her choices come from her neighborhood group, the Briarwood Book Club. Others were recommended to her by her father and friends.

Among the books she plans on reading are The Coddling of the American Mind: How Good Intention and Bad Ideas Are Setting Up a Generation for Failure by Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt and Becoming by Michelle Obama.
