MUFSO book club

Move over, Oprah. Some of MUFSO's best and brightest have a few book suggestions of their own.

NRN editor Ellen Koteff asked three top executives about their favorite business books during the Tuesday morning general session. Here's what they had to say.

Clarence Otis, CEO of Darden Restaurants: "Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap ... and Others Don't," by Jim Collins.

Doug Brooks, CEO of Brinker International: "The Five Disfunctions of a Team," by Patrick Lencioni. "You'll recognize the characters in this book," he said. "They all work for you." Brooks also gave a shout out to his mentor, the late Norman Brinker by recommending his autobiography, "On the Brink."

David Brandon, CEO of Domino's: "Given all the challenges today and regulatory attacks on our industry, I'd say the Bible is a good choice," he said, drawing laughter from the crowd.
