I read a lot of books in all sorts of genres. One of the genres I appreciate professionally is management literature. I use these management books to understand how to approach specific challenges in my career. Reading these books is about being inspired, as there is no such thing as copy/pasting management practices. I’ve seen too many managers and leaders do this throughout my career. I can tell you that in such scenarios, you will always fail. Every work/company environment is different; there is no such thing as copying/pasting yourself out of a professional challenge.
Below is my list of management books I enjoyed reading over the past few years. I share this list with friends and colleagues who ask me for advice on suitable books they could read.
- Blue Ocean Strategy – Expanded Edition
- Eat that frog
- How to Win Friends and Influence People
- Making Work Visible
- Nine Lies About Work
- Our Iceberg Is Melting
- Start with Why
- StrengthsFinder 2.0
- The Culture Map
- The Miracle Morning
