Best Books Everyone Should Read to Improve One's Skills (and to Impress His/ Her Boss)
A tell - tale sign of a good leader is a constant desire to learn, and reading’s one of the best ways to show your higher-ups that you want to grow, both within and outside of the organization. Not only that, it improves your vocabulary, expands your world, and generally makes you a more educated and interesting person to be around. Read just one and you’ll find yourself ahead of the game. Read the whole list and, well, you might just be looking at a promotion. Rework: Change the Way You Work Forever by David Heinemeier Hansson and Jason Fried Although it’s been out a few years, Rework is still one of my favorite business books for employees because it challenges traditional ideas about “corporate America” and helps un-teach bad habits. You can’t be a good leader unless you have good judgment. This is one of the best books I’ve read for illustrating why it’s important to question established norms and work smarter, not harder.
