I want to share the list of recommended readings listed in the book.
Crafting Strategy
Designing Organization
Managing Change

When I had an opportunity to interview Tom Peters for my zine, Management Consulting News, he made a comment that resonated with me. He said If I read a book that cost me $20 and I get one good idea, Ive gotten one of the greatest bargains of all time.
Youll get more than a bargain from these classics. If youre in any professional services business, make sure these books are in your library.
