What Would Buddha Do at
Work? 101 Answers to Workplace Dilemmas
Franz Metcalf, B Gallagher Hateley
With the better part of our lives spent
at work, it's a wonder there aren't more books devoted to practical living
in the workplace.
What would Buddha do at work? Of course, he'd quit and go
find a comfortable spot in the forest to meditate. But those of us for whom
early retirement is not an option can still profit from the Buddha's wisdom.
Buddha's advice is not always obvious but certainly always helpful. What
would Buddha do to get promoted? To influence others? To maintain job
security? The answer to the first two questions is that he would simply do
his job well. You would think that would also be the answer to the third
question. But for the third, our authors teach us the Buddhist notion of
impermanence--that in a world that is always changing, job security is an
illusion.
The Structure of
Scientific Revolutions
Thomas Kuhn
The Structure of Scientific Revolutions indeed a paradigmatic work in the history of science.
Kuhn's use of terms such as "paradigm shift" and "normal science," his ideas
of how scientists move from disdain through doubt to acceptance of a new
theory, his stress on social and psychological factors in science--all have
had profound effects on historians, scientists, philosophers, critics,
writers, business gurus, and even the cartoonist in the street.
Man's Search for Meaning
Viktor Frankl

Practice What You Preach:
What Managers Must Do to Create a High-Achievement Culture
David H. Maister
David H. Maister, a specialist in the
management of professional service firms, surveyed 29 firms in 15 countries
to determine whether positive employee attitudes really correlate to
corporate success. In his consultancy and previous books, he has suggested
they do, and in Practice what You Preach he is able to show that in many
companies it truly is "attitudes that drive financial results, and not
(predominantly) the other way round." On a pragmatic level, this allows him
to demonstrate how a energized workforce will provide top-quality client
service--the key component in any service-oriented business. Overall, Maister recommends managers instill trust and respect, develop a high
morale, and serve as "coaches" rather than "most valuable players".
The 7 Habits of Highly
Effective People
Stephen R. Covey
The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People:
Powerful Lessons in Personal Change was a groundbreaker when it was first
published in 1990, and it continues to be a business bestseller with more
than 10 million copies sold. Stephen Covey, an internationally respected
leadership authority, realizes that true success encompasses a balance of
personal and professional effectiveness, so this book is a manual for
performing better in both arenas. His anecdotes are as frequently from
family situations as from business challenges.
