Do you want to learn Business & Management? Read the classics (by the Economist)

Must confess that articles like this one, make my Economist subscription worth every cent I pay. More than the weekly events, although relevant as they are, is on these kinds of articles that my utility maximization supports the yearly price paid. So, if you want to learn business & management why don’t you turn to the Classics? Leadership - read “Things Fall Apart” by Chinua Achebe. Mentorship - “Inferno” by Dante - Character Virgil Motivation - “Tom Sawyer” by Mark Twain HR or Finance - Catch-22 by Joseph Heller or The Trial by Kafka IT Support - Waiting for Godot by Samuel Beckett Digital Transformation - Frankenstein by Mary Shelley Leadership, what to avoid - Richard III and Macbeth by Shakespeare Succession Planning - King Lear by Shakespeare How to choose a PA - Othello by Shakespeare What not to do as a CEO - Moby-Dick by Herman Melville character Captain Ahab How to be a best manager - Fezziwig character from Charles Dickens’s “A Christmas Carol”: The need to have Candid Conversations -Bartleby, the Scrivener by Melville Happy readings! https://www.economist.com/business/2024/07/11/the-ceos-alternative-summer-reading-list
