I heard that Jack Welch books are pretty good... Anybody else besides Jack?

It absolutely amazes me how many people start a business when all they know how to do is their trade - and shockingly, they fail! The E-Myth takes you step by step - and it's an entertaining read, as well.; ▶ Reply to This

As a writer, a senior trainer at some of India's and the world's best business schools, a strategy and brand consultant, adviser to the government and an entreprener out of Pune, in India, I guess the easiest way to describe me is to call me a sensible maverick.

What's that got to do with your question? Simple really.when we look to 'books on business or management', to give us insights into helping manage things better, we often forget two fundamental things. the first: that there is sno single quick fix formula. If there was one, the owner would be the world's richest and most powerful person!! Te second is that the issues involved in running and managing a business, can be extraordinarily diverse, by function, scale, environment, purpose, activity, etc. Which is why there is no shortage of books on the area. What you could do is introspect and try to focus on the type and area of insight which you need. then start hunting for books. And extract ideas from them, apply them to the issues that concern you, and then read more, validate, benchmark and proceed. should you stiill need more help, please feel free to contact me at nishitnk@yahoo.comI am new to this network.
