The Smart Lemming Rundown is a shortcut to career management success by recommending three business books that help you:
- How you can construct a realistic path to enduring success.
- How you can defend yourself in office politics or collect political power in a way that’s not selfish.
- How to forge an effective relationship with those above you.
Just Enough by Laura Nash and Howard Stevenson
After reading Just Enough, you’ll learn to how to prevent setting yourself up for failure by creating a sequential strategy, not a Big Goal approach. Learn that “just enough” reflects a multidimensional understanding of yourself after you examine your values and belief system, your needs, and unique capabilities.
Just Enough rates a 4 on a scale of 4, as a must-read for workers, managers, leaders, and entrepreneurs who want to a better approach to managing their career path that results in enduring success.
The 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene
The 48 Laws of Power teaches the fundamentals of power that workers must understand entering the work environment. The need for power is so fundamental, that when you feel you have no power over people or events, you feel like a pawn in someone else’s chess game.
New workers may not be ready for the laws of power and may foolishly use them in the wrong situations, while Advanced to Senior workers, and middle managers should read this book to defend themselves from others.
Managing Up by Rosanne Badowski with Roger Gittines
Managing Up teaches you how to make your boss look good, how to build your confidence, and align yourself with your boss’ agenda and goals. Badowski offers managing up principles that she learned after working with her boss and business icon, Jack Welch, former CEO of General Electric.
Who should read this book? New and advanced workers. I rated this book a 4 on a scale of 4, as a must-read for workers, who want to learn the basics of managing their boss.
Watch the video that lists all 48 laws of power by Robert Greene.
