This is like the return of a prodigal son. My last post was back in January, so I've got some catching up to do. I am sure Chris Caplice will send the incoming Mloggers the "Summer Reading" list, but I would like to add a couple. The books that I list here are ones that have been either mentioned by numerious professors or recommended as "must-reads" by other students. I invite my classmates to add their favorite books. In no particular order, my favorite books are as follows:
Poundstone, William. How Would You Move Mount Fuji? Microsoft's Cult of the Puzzle How World's Smartest Companies Select the Most Creative Thinkers. Little Brown & Company. 2003.
A must, if you are applying for a Microsoft, Investment Banking, tech, or even consulting gig. It's entertaining.
Christensen, Clayton M. The Innovator's Dilemma. Rev. Ed. HarperCollins. 2000.
This is a bestseller from a popular HBS professor. He is an amazing teacher, and this book captures some of his captivating mind.
Various Authors. Harvard Business Review on Leadership. Harvard Business School Press. 1997 or 1999. (Also recommend HBR on Managing Uncertainties).
A preview of Shalom Saar's Know Thyself workshops. The second book is a great read for all you strategists out there.
Kuhn, Thomas. The Structure of Scientific Revolutions. University of Chicago Press. 1996.
Jonathan Byrnes, Bill Haas, and others will repeatedly mention this book in your classes. It is sitting on my dressor, but I will get to it as soon as my thesis is written.
Best of luck!
