The Management Gurus

Hi,

I recently read the book the The Management Gurus: Lessons from the Best Management Books of All Time . This book provides executive summaries of the following books:

1. Winning with People: Discover the People Principles that Work for You Every Time

2. Topgrading: How Leading Companies Win by Hiring, Coaching, and Keeping the Best People, Revised and Updated Edition

3. Jack Welch and The 4 E's of Leadership: How to Put GE's Leadership Formula to Work in Your Organizaion

4. The Leadership Challenge, 4th Edition

5. "Gods of Management" by Charles Handy

6. "Influencer" by Patterson, Grenny, Maxfield, et al

7. True North: Discover Your Authentic Leadership (J-B Warren Bennis Series)

8. "What Got You Here Won't Get You There" by Marshall Goldsmith with Mark Reiter

9. "Judgment" by Noel Tichy and Warren Bennis

10. "Small Giants" by Bo Burlingham

11. "Dealing with Darwin" by Geoffrey A. Moore

12. Wikinomics: How Mass Collaboration Changes Everything

13. "Managing Crises Before They Happen" by Mitroff and Anagnos

14. "The Leader of the Future" by Hesselbein, Goldsmith, and Beckhard

15. "The Next Global Stage" by Kenichi Ohmae

For executives crunched on time but wishing to update themselves with the latest lessons in leadership and management, this book is a great way to maximize their learning. While some may point out that it does not includes the books from the likes of Peter F Drucker , Jim Collins, Michael Porter, and Stephen R Covey in this list. While that may be so, the books included in the collection are mostly top class and provide a wide horizon of knowledge for the practicing manager and leaders.

I recommend all Managers and Leaders to go ahead and read this book if they are crunched on time or purchase the individual books.

Happy Reading.
