ABSTRACT

This topic may be unexpected and puzzling because it provides suggestions on how to read. But, in fact, you have already in your educational career honed your skills at various types of reading, ranging from literary analysis, which may focus on the careful hunt for symbol, theme, and use of language; to the type of reading skills associated with executives, i.e., the ability to skim, pick out important points, do some (but not exhaustive) analysis, and come to a point of view – grounded in data and analysis – that you can defend.
