Bury My Heart at Conference Room B – Stan Slap

Dec. 30, 2010 – Subtitled: The Unbeatable Impact of Truly Committed Managers. My personal pick for “Book of the Year” in 2010. The title is clever but unfortunate because many people will opt not to read it. It’s not a book about being a better manager. It’s a book about being a better human being. It’s about defining our values and helping others to define theirs. At it’s base, it’s about becoming a better leader. Along the way to achieving that, we learn how to be a better family member, friend, colleague and team player. I would recommend this book to every single person I know because there is something to be gained by every person who reads it regardless of age, education, job title or ambition. It was a fantastic book to close out this year and start planning for the next!
