THE 7 HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE PEOPLE by Stephen R. Covey
"Few of us follow these simple precepts, and this book helps give tools to do so."
THE DILBERT PRINCIPLE by Scott Adams
"After I spend months writing up a theory, I typically find Scott Adams
has already summed up my complex theories and evidence in four witty panels."
MANAGEMENT AND THE WORKER by Fritz Jules Roethlisberger, William John Dickson et al.
"Roethlisberger and Dickson mostly got it right. That is, people are more productive
if they feel their work is of value, if they work together as a team, if they are
rewarded as a team, and if management makes changes the workforce suggests will
improve effectiveness."
MONEY AND MOTIVATION by William Foote Whyte
"An important reminder of why pay for performance faded from the 1920s to the 1980s."
