Phil's Career Blog

Here’s my list of management, career and thought provoking books and articles that I think are worth reading and stand “the test of time”. My list of books won’t be terribly long because I find that most books are really bulked up articles. You can read the article and get the point. I’ll keep building this list selectively. Suggest any ideas you may have. (Links are to books I have commented on in the past).
