How to be an excellent manager

How to become an excellent manager's book, the manager is an indispensable and important existence in the enterprise, and becoming an excellent manager needs continuous learning and progress, and the book is a good help. Share the following books on how to be a good manager.

How to be an excellent manager book 1 1. Effective manager

It is impossible for managers engaged in practical work to read through the works of Drucker, a master of management. I suggest you start with an effective manager. At that time, it was after reading this book that Zhang Ruimin was greatly inspired and fell in love with Drucker. The theme of this book is actually self-management, which is suitable for every manager.

Drucker's other works also recommend Innovation and Entrepreneurship, Management Practice, Management Frontier and The Spectator, which actually have their own merits.

Second, "only paranoia can survive"

Managers can't help reading strategies. For practical workers, instead of reading Michael Porter, the "first person in strategy", or henry mintzberg, who is quite critical of Porter, it is better to read Andy Grove's "Only paranoia can survive-this is the most wonderful business case about strategy".

Grove was the co-founder of Intel Corporation and later served as CEO for a long time. He is also a thinker among managers and has been teaching at Stanford Business School for a long time. Therefore, this is a case with theoretical guidance. If you are a junior or middle-level manager, it is also recommended to read High-Output Management and translate it into Grove's The First Lesson for Managers (and Marcus Buckingham's First, Breaking All the Rules is recommended for junior and middle-level managers). In addition, Gruff's autobiography "Upstream" is also highly recommended. Grove's dream is to become a novelist, with a very good writing style and touching autobiography.

3. Article 22 Business rules.

The authors are Ellis and Jack Trout, who put forward the concept of "positioning". This book is concise and practical, and explains the basic principles of marketing and positioning concisely. Of course, to have a more comprehensive understanding of marketing, you can look at the textbooks compiled by philip kotler, the father of marketing.

In addition, trout's What is Strategy is highly recommended.

Four. Hp strategy

The two founders of HP, Bill Hugh Park Jung-soo and david packard, are obviously management geniuses. As soon as they took the shot, they shaped the gene of Hewlett-Packard Company's "everlasting foundation". The "HP Way" they founded was later learned by countless companies. The setbacks that Hewlett-Packard Company encountered later actually had a lot to do with deviating from the "HP Way". This book is arguably one of the best business cases. We can see how Weili people and the great "HP Way" were tempered.

Verb (short for verb) Autobiography of Welch

Managers actually have many good autobiographies (but most of them are co-authors). If you are a CEO, you can read Autobiography of Welch, which is not only famous, but also has a lot of real materials. If you are an "airborne soldier" shouldering the heavy responsibility of reform, you should read "Who says elephants can't dance" by former IBM CEO Guo Shina. If you are the head of the family business, I recommend you to read the autobiography of little Watson, the son of old Watson, the founder of IBM. If you are in the creative industry, I recommend reading david ogilvy's Autobiography of Ogilvy. If you are in the catering industry, or if you are a middle-aged entrepreneur, I recommend you to read the autobiography of ray kroc, the founder of McDonald's, 100 million times in 30 years or howard schultz, the founder of Starbucks. If you are in the cosmetics industry, or you are an elderly entrepreneur, I recommend you to read Mary Kay's autobiography. If you are a retailer, I recommend you to read the autobiography of sam walton, the founder of Wal-Mart.

Sixth, "from Excellence to Excellence"

Manage best-selling classics and sum up some "universal truths" through some "successful cases". Author Jim Collins also has another book, Evergreen Foundation (co-authored with Jerry Pollas) and another book, Pursuing Excellence (the first management bestseller), written by two consultants from McKinsey & Company. I suggest you read at least one of these three books.

Seven. Living law

Big company, good experience

The so-called entrepreneurs who founded two Fortune 500 companies are just a stunt of kazuo inamori. Is the Fortune 500 great? There are many families in China now. The greatness of kazuo inamori is that he embodies an entrepreneurial temperament different from that of most Fortune 500 companies. I hope it can be called "oriental" temperament, not "Japanese" temperament. Kazuo inamori's books and books about him have been published in China. You can read Living Law or choose one or two other books.

Eight, "across the cultural wave"

In the era of globalization, we have to read this masterpiece of cross-cultural management. Two European authors eloquently tell us that different cultures should have different management methods, and American-style management is not universally applicable. If you have further interest in cross-cultural management, you can further read Culture and Organization. The author hofstede is even more famous. He established himself as a leader in the cross-cultural field with a large-scale transnational research in IBM. Personally, I prefer the cross-cultural wave.

Nine. administration behavior

The author is herbert simon, the only management scholar who won the Nobel Prize in Economics. Although it is a masterpiece of great scholars, it is not as boring as academic works. In the revised version of 1997, the author also added his latest ideas. Insight, eloquence

X. "March into management"

March is one of the most famous scholars in the field of organization, and his book Organization co-authored with Simon is a classic in this field. But both "Organization" and other academic monographs in March are too serious. In fact, I would like to recommend March's On Leadership, which is a lecture on March's legendary course Organizational Leadership. Unfortunately, there is no Chinese translation. This book "On Management in March" collects some less academic articles and interviews in March. The title of the book was chosen by March and I for China readers (the first criterion I chose: excluding mathematical formulas). You must read March, the professor who is called "the all-around professor" at Stanford. As a substitute, you can also look at the tenth part of my reflection on leadership, Leadership and Life, which contains my summary of March's thoughts and my dialogue with him.
