Recommend a book about the workplace or business or management.

We have a book club at work that formed this year. So far we have read Tribal Warfare in Organizations (boring) and A Whole New Mind: Why Right-Brainers Will Rule the Future (pretty good). We have been asked to come up with the next book. I think we have all read Who Moved My Cheese? so that won't work. Ideas?

1. The Holy Bible. The parts about ethics and usury are 'quaint,' huh ? nt

[PetrusMonsFormicarum]

2. Nickel and Dimed

by Barbara Ehrenreich. I guarantee it will change the way you look at basic labor.

3. The Economist...

They publish a lot of business books that have been passed around everywhere I've ever worked. I shy away from the management books these days.

6. Our MBA (Harvard) President is evidently having an effect ! nt

4. Perfectly Legal by David Cay Johnston re business and taxation

Also, Screwed by Thom Hartmann

[Selatius]

5. The complete idiot's guide to human resource management.

Easy to read and in a conversational tone. By Arthur R. Pell, Ph.D. Do textbooks count in your book club?

10. The Goal: A Process of Ongoing Improvement

http://www.amazon.com/Goal-Process-Ongoing-Improvement/dp/0884270610

Our entire department read this book, and took the lessons of the "Theory of Constraints" to heart. Very, very readable - almost like a novel.

Our productivity has improved after putting these processes into place - not by anyone working harder, but by all of us working smarter.

Highly recommended!
