- The Elephant Hunter, Speaking Truth in Organizations by Stacie L L Morgan
The book is quite different from the title; by using the title, the author has compiled a book on common problems that organizations face. The author has taken the metaphor of the elephant in the room and, on the basis of this metaphor, explained some of the common issues that are seen by us every day, but we tend to ignore them. In this book, the author has jotted down all of the observations that she has made from a distance but still provides very clear descriptions and effective tips to hunt the elephant in the room. As you read on, you will notice many problems that you have encountered working in an organization or being a CEO of an organization, but high chance are you will ignore them. The book will guide you perfectly in achieving a healthy working environment.
- Atomic Habits by James Clear
It can be difficult to maintain inspiration in the beginning, and nothing can stand between you and success like bad habits. James Clear, a writer, and businessman, is of the opinion that you are not the issue. Your system is to blame instead. By fostering an environment of achievement, you can avoid always relying on willpower. Clear simplifies difficult concepts into doable suggestions, and he guides you in mastering the little tasks that, over time, form positive habits and produce notable outcomes.
- Zero to One by Peter Thiel
Pick up Peter Thiel’s Zero to One if you’re seeking a realistic and upbeat novel to spark your imagination. The co-founder of PayPal, Peter Thiel, shares his ideas and perceptions on how to create the world you desire in his book. You can finish reading the book in one or two days because it is short. It still has plenty of motivational tales from Thiel’s time at PayPal and other trailblazing entrepreneurs like Bill Gates. His “Seven Questions Every Business Must Answer” can be used to refine and test your concepts and procedures.
