However, I truely believe and am well aware of the fact that most of these thinkers are either directly or indirectly are inspired by the ideas of Peter Drucker who is regarded as "the man who invented management" by Businessweek in 2005 when he died. When someone reads "The Effective Executive" of Drucker, one can see that the basic ideas of effectiveness are given there. In "7 habits of effective people", Covey highlights these factors so successfully (or effectively) that, most of the people do not even recognize that these ideas and concepts are first introduced by Drucker.

To my knowledge he wrote just one book , but he opened up the whole Human Nature. It's like Bible for all effective leaders. With Warm Regards, Debashish Brahma Dear David,

How about setting up a list on Squidoo and letting us vote stuff up and down? I agree with the previous comment that perhaps 7Habits should be up there, but have not read all the books you mention... I'd also nominate Rich Dad, Poor Dad for inclusion in the top 14 list... Best wishes, David Hurley Hi David,

Great list you have got here. How about setting up a list on Squidoo and letting us vote stuff up and down?

I agree with the previous comment that perhaps 7Habits should be up there, but have not read all the books you mention…

I’d also nominate Rich Dad, Poor Dad for inclusion in the top 14 list…

Best wishes,

David Hurley

Almost every manager/Project Manager swears by this book. I think 7 habits of highly effective people should’ve been more to the top. Almost every manager/Project Manager swears by this book.

I'm a supervisor hoping to become <a href="http://www.dogsadvicetoleaders.com/" rel="nofollow">manager</a> soon. A book that I bought today I finished in less then an hour. I read A Dog's Advice to Leaders, and I thought to myself, "My leader at work could sure use this book!" These are great books above I cant wait to check them out.
