CHICAGO, Sept. 24, 2001 (PRIMEZONE) -- M.L. Jensen, an executive coach writing for the September issue of Today's Librarian, suggests seven must-read books for every business person. His list includes "Filling the Glass" by Barry Maher (Dearborn Trade, $19.95), which offers "hardheaded, realistic inspiration," especially for managers.
Tactics and tips are laced throughout the book, and can be particularly helpful for people grappling with how to work amidst world chaos. These pointers may help distraught professionals make sense of their employees' roles at work -- as well as their own.
Jensen says that "Filling the Glass" provides "practical, effective strategies for getting what you want in your career without sacrificing who you are, it's so much the best of the breed that it's in a class by itself."
Jensen's recommended business reading list includes:
1. "Getting to Yes: Negotiating Agreement Without Giving In," by Roger Fisher, William Ury and Bruce Patton. (Penguin/Simon & Schuster Audio)
2. "The Art of War," by Sun Tzu. (Shambhala Audio)
3. "The One Minute Manager," by Kenneth Blanchard and Spencer Johnson. (Blanchard Training and Development, Berkley Pub. Group/Simon & Schuster Audio)
4. "Filling the Glass: The Skeptic's Guide to Positive Thinking in Business," by Barry Maher. (Dearborn Trade)
