《生活的藝術(shù)》:關(guān)于美德、幸福和效率的經(jīng)典手冊
一名科技行業(yè)的招聘經(jīng)理居然會推薦一本2000年前的古希臘哲學(xué)家寫的書,貌似是有些奇怪。不過科技招聘公司Dave Partners的CEO戴夫?卡瓦哈爾表示,這本書里的一些見解即便對當(dāng)今的職場人士來說也是非?,F(xiàn)代的。
卡瓦哈爾認(rèn)為:“隨著創(chuàng)新速度的加快,加之對外部關(guān)系管理的深度和速度要求得更高,古希臘斯多葛學(xué)派的哲學(xué)家愛比克泰德提出的一些品德,在今天也具有了更重要的意義?!奔幢闶窃谏缃幻襟w主宰了相當(dāng)一部分人際互動的時代,愛比克泰德的一些建議也是經(jīng)典而永恒的?!拔覀兾ㄒ荒芸刂频氖?,就是管理內(nèi)心世界和自我。”
《引爆點(diǎn)》:看小事如何成就大不同
獵頭公司Challenger, Gray & Christmas的CEO約翰?查倫吉爾在談到馬爾科姆?格拉德維爾的這本當(dāng)代經(jīng)典著作時表示:“之所以說這本書好,就因?yàn)樗v了是什么讓信息流動的,以及信息是如何在人群中流動的。它不僅談到如何去找一份工作,更重要的是談到了溝通背后的理念。它不僅僅提到了所謂的‘連接者’——也就是認(rèn)識很多人的人,還提到了這些人對你找工作為什么重要,因?yàn)樗麄兡馨涯憬榻B到你需要見的人那里。”
《極端所有權(quán)》:美國海豹突擊隊(duì)的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)和成功藝術(shù)
這是一本正在學(xué)習(xí)企業(yè)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)藝術(shù)的你輕易不會翻到的書。本書的兩位作者喬可?威靈克和利夫?巴賓曾在伊拉克戰(zhàn)爭中擔(dān)任過美軍海豹突擊隊(duì)的指揮官,而他們在進(jìn)行決策時,所面臨的風(fēng)險要遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)高于任何一個公司的高管??ㄍ吖柋硎荆骸斑@本書告訴我們,無論是在企業(yè)里還是在生活中,為什么充分的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)權(quán)和責(zé)任心對于成功來說都是十分重要的?!?/p>
《機(jī)器人的崛起》:科技發(fā)展或?qū)砣媸I(yè)
軟件與招聘公司Jobvite公司的CEO丹?芬尼根表示:“就業(yè)市場的波動和自動化的發(fā)展仍然是很多人關(guān)注的話題,像這樣一本書可以幫助人們了解未來的就業(yè)市場是什么樣子,以及自己能在其中扮演什么樣的角色。”在本書作者、未來學(xué)家馬丁?福特看來,隨著機(jī)器人和人工智能技術(shù)的興起,人們要想在未來的職場中保留立錐之地,就要不斷對自身進(jìn)行調(diào)整。芬尼根表示:“我們的技能必須要進(jìn)化,隨著這些技術(shù)的加速發(fā)展,與這些變革保持同步也是很重要的?!?/p>
《鞋狗》:耐克創(chuàng)始人的回憶錄
查倫吉爾介紹道,《鞋狗》披露了耐克背后的創(chuàng)業(yè)故事。在這本書中,耐克創(chuàng)始人菲爾?奈特既描述了一名創(chuàng)業(yè)人的決心和堅(jiān)持,也講了NIKE是如何從一家小公司成長為一家巨型企業(yè)的。查倫吉爾認(rèn)為:“這是一本非常鼓舞人心的書?!保ㄘ?cái)富中文網(wǎng))

Whether you’re actively looking to climb the corporate ladder or you’re happy in your current job, professional headhunters explain that these are the books that will advance your career—and why.
? The Art of Living: The Classical Manual on Virtue, Happiness, and Effectiveness
It might seem strange to have a high-tech recruiter to recommend a book by a Greek philosopher who lived nearly 2,000 years ago, but Dave Carvajal, CEO of technology recruiting firm Dave Partners, says it contains some surprisingly modern insights for today’s professional.
“Some of the virtues from the Greek stoics are perhaps more relevant today with the increased pace of innovation and the need to manage the velocity and depth of external relationships,” Carvajal says. Even in an age when social media dominates much of our interaction, this advice proves timeless. “A sense of affiliation with like-minded people leads to high satisfaction rates at work,” he says. “Managing the internal world and self are the only things we can control.”
? The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference
“The reason it’s so good is that book is about what make messages move and how messages move through people,” John Challenger, CEO of executive outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas, said via email of the modern classic from Malcolm Gladwell. “It’s not only about how you look for a job — it’s more about the ideas behind communicating. It really is. Not only does it talk about connectors, people who know lots of people [but] those people are crucial in a job search because they can introduce you to people you need to see.”
? Extreme Ownership: How U.S. Navy SEALs Lead and Win
This isn’t your ordinary tome on corporate leadership. As Navy SEAL commanders serving during the war in Iraq, co-authors Jocko Willink and Leif Babin had to make leadership decisions with higher stakes than anyone faces in a boardroom. “This book shows how full ownership and accountability in business — and in life — are important for success,” Carvajal says.
? Rise of the Robots: Technology and the Threat of a Jobless Future
“As the job market shifts and automation continues to weigh on folks’ minds, a book like this could help them understand the job market of the future and where they fit in,” Dan Finnigan, CEO of software and recruiting company Jobvite, says of Rise of the Robots, by futurist and author Martin Ford. In the future, the increase in robotics and artificial intelligence means people will need to adapt to stay relevant in the workforce. “Skills will have to evolve, and as this technology accelerates, staying abreast of these shifts will be crucial,” Finnigan says.
? Shoe Dog: A Memoir by the Creator of Nike
Challenger says that by pulling back the curtain on the story behind the swoosh, Nike founder Phil Knight tells a story that is as much about entrepreneurial determination and drive as it is about Nike’s improbable growth from start-up to corporate giant. “It’s an inspirational book,” Challenger says. |
