I find the following two series of pocket books very interesting for the young professional. They’re short (about 100 pages), low cost (about 5 to 10 EUR), have interesting content (e.g. Making Presentations, Coaching, 360 Degree Feedback, …) and they usually contain just enough models, tips and tricks to get you started (or to improve yourself). If you really want the details on one of these models, … you can then switch to the more traditional management books, which are a lot bigger, more expensive and cover less, but more into detail.
I really can recommend having a look at them:
- Management Pocketbooks
- Essential Managers Series, published by DK Publishing, Inc.
But, of course, they don’t look as good on your book shelve. :icon_wink:
