Think Like a Manager
Think Like a Manager, Don't Act Like One offers 75 successful approaches to help you foresee or manage unpredictable situations. These 75 perspectives will add to your confusion – but also your understanding. This collection of approaches may well irritate you from time to time, and possibly inspire you, but really it should make you think. It probably wouldn't be sensible to follow every one of them, but they might give you some fresh ideas. Because those who keep doing what they've always done achieve the results they've always achieved.

"Sometimes you have to look for nothing in order to find something." -Harry Starren
"Perhaps the real key to success is failing faster than the rest." -Harry Starren
"Where you stand depends on where you sit." -Harry Starren
"Fear of change is a myth, as Professor Hans Wissema has dicovered. But people want to change themselves, they don't want to be changed by others." -Harry Starren
"Doctors call them "sick gains": the benefits of being ill. Crazy as it may sound, there are always benefits. Say you break your leg. That's painful and crippling, sure, but it also brings advantages...So why should it be any different with problems affecting an organization? If the management team isn't functioning properly, that makes room for other people to set their own course. It creates new opportunities. Could this be why there are so many dysfunctional management teams?" -Harry Starren

I think I started to believe in the importance of “doing nothing” after this book.

A collection of short passages making you to think (maybe like a manager). A book appropriate for commuting.
