Here's a topic that pops up occasionally:
Which novels would you suggest that executives, or would-be executives, read?
A quick and partial list:
What Makes Sammy Run? by Budd Schulberg
[To illustrate the cost of unbridled ambition.]
The Caine Mutiny by Herman Wouk
[For reflections on loyalty, conspiracy, and incompetence.]
Bleak House by Charles Dickens
[Please read before entering the meat grinder known as litigation.]
The Warden by Anthony Trollope
[A good person, trapped by an organization's policies.]
Catch-22 by Joseph Heller
[When insanity seems sane.]
The Bonfire of the Vanities by Tom Wolfe
[For an amusing take on interest group politics.]
