However, the sine qua non of the managerial lifestyle, is the management text! These books go through surges and resurgences .. usually based on their appearance in assorted M.B.A. programs!
A few of my favorites are (not in order):
- The One-Minute Manager (by Ken Blanchard)
- The Art of War (by Sun Tzu)
- The Book of Five Rings (by Miyamoto Musashi)
- Tao of Jeet Kune Do (by Bruce Lee; yes that Bruce Lee!)
... as you can see, I've been highly influenced by eastern philosophies. These are the books I return to time after time. Having said that, I am currently enjoying The No Asshole Rule by Robert Sutton. The sub-title says it all: "Building a civilized workplace and surviving one that isn't".
How about you?? What are your top 5??
