Have you ever looked at the overwhelming number of book on management? I can’t believe it is really necessary to have that many books on one subject. And not just management in general, ever kind of sub-topic for every kind of situation is there for me to buy. I was talking to my boss about a long-standing problem, and he reached on his shelf and gave me a book on managing unsolvable problems. I have an entire library both printed and online which my company maintains with all of their favorites for me to read. I have in my own personal book shelf more than a few from over the years. Some of these I am hoping that just having them close to me will make me better at managing them the others I read hoping to glean some skills for doing my job. The bottom line is I hope after all the mistakes I have made that one day, I will have learned not so much what I need to do, but what not to do. That at least keeps me off the corporate naughty list.
