| There never seem to be enough hours in
the day to read all you need to
read much less all that you want
to read. When is comes to managing,
consulting and coaching, there
are several that top the list
from my perspective. I categorize
these as “must read” for anyone
in the business of managing, consulting
or coaching. They include: Harvard
Business Review All of the business
magazines, this one is essential
for anyone in management, consulting
or coaching. Read ever issue cover
to cover. Visit: http://www.hbr.org/
“Good to Great” by Jim Collins
One of the well researched, well
written and truly applicable books
that applies to management, consulting
and coaching. See your on-line
bookseller and visit: http://www.jimcollins.com/
Anything by Peter F. Drucker Peter
Drucker’s work is, for the most
part, timeless. Do not limit yourself
to reading only his later books
and other writings. See your on-line
bookseller and visit: http://www.peter-drucker.com/
Anything by Tom Peters Sometimes
Tom Peter’s comments seem “off
the wall” but he remains a true
visionary and is always insightful
and exciting. See your on-line
bookseller and visit: www.tompeters.com
Wall Street Journal Well balanced,
well written and always up to
date with the latest on all aspects
of business and finance (the language
of business). The Wall Street
Journal Anything by Scott Adams
You have to be able to laugh at
yourself and often Mr. Adams’
hits home whether he takes aim
at HR policies, systems and processes
or practice (or lack) of management.
