Title: Candid, concise and on target
Product review: I came across Andy Grove's, Only the Paranoid Survive via Jack Covert and Todd Sattersten's, The 100 Best Business Books of All Time. And I now see why it made the list. Although it was written well over a decade ago, it offers timeless insight into topics ranging from effective top-to-bottom management styles to steadfast career maintenance. What I found most interesting was his unique insight into senior management's stubborn outlook on change. It still boggles the mind that those in leadership positions cling so tightly to their positions - even as their companies start to fail. I think it makes a great case for a life-long learning process that focuses on keeping a fresh young mind. Add this one to your library because by maintaining an honest premise, this book offers candid insight to anyone who plans to succeed in a management position and it does so in a clear, concise manner that doesn't bore you to death.
