My friend recently recommended this book. The title itself is very catchy. "Don't oil the squeaky wheels and other 19 other contrarian ways to improve your leadership effectiveness" by Wolf J Rinke.
The grammar checking in this blogger pics the word 'contrarian' as a possible mistake. No wonder, I, too, came across this word the first time. Does this mean "out of box" thinking? It certainly looks that way.
Consider the chapter headings: Knowledge is not power; Management and Leadership theories do not work; Be selfish; Don't manage people; Don't be proud; Don't be Tough; Don't Play to Win; Don't prove yourself; Don't have people work for you....
It's interesting; and amusing. It really proves how an intelligent man can thik contrarily to everyone's belief. Read it. I'm sure you will like it.
