Book Review Questions
Part A: Reflections
I believe that learning involves sharing while respecting diversity. In the course of my study, I intend to learn the various moral and legal aspects of running a successful business entity that emphasizes on the need to conduct business professionally. In addition, for my organization to flourish, I think I will try and familiarize myself with good customer relations, good time keeping and also discipline my self in regard to finances or money management.
After acquiring some of these skills, I will try and share with other individuals in the quest to create favorable and fair business environments. I will motivate my juniors and dutifully support my seniors since through this form of teamwork, any business organization would prosper.
Every person needs a mentor at some point their lives. My mentor in the business field would be based on his success level and the methods that he or she has used in order to reach their success points. Among the characteristic that I would be looking forward to would be aggressiveness in business, servant leadership and also a person who is a good manager.

Part B: Reflections
The business article, The Customer Centric Leadership: How to manage strategic customers as assets in B2B markets has deeply explained how a business person can manage one of a business’s greatest assets: its customers in this age of tough global competition. It stresses on the need for businesses to install human resource leaders especially managers who systematically add value and reduce risk together with the customers (Senn, Thoma &Yip, 2013), At times it is not easy to understand how certain things operate unless you directly involve yourself in them. Entrepreneurship is one such complex undertaking. It requires a lot of search for knowledge and capitalizing on the basic theories of business management.
