His list begins with The 10 Day MBA which is an excellent book I recommend highly. It gives a brief overview constituting 90+% of what you need to know. The other books on his list, many of which I have read and enjoyed myself, “merely” give greater detail on the material covered by T10DMBA (except macroeconomics which is rarely MBA-relevant anyway).
The book is humorous, but quite serious about the material.
- toomuchtodo 3y agoWhat would you recommend for the last 10%?
- greggsy 3y agoSounds cliched, but the remaining 10% is real world experience applying and reflecting on a myriad of (sometimes pseudo-) psychology concepts developed over the years in the areas of leadership, self awareness, and workplace behaviour.
- ghaff 3y agoProbably more like 50%. I got an MBA and pretty much realized I had very little interest in actually being a manager.
- greggsy 3y agoI think there’s a lot of ‘teachings’ in those books, but the applying and reflecting it is the ‘10%’. I also did an MBA, but my incentive was mainly for the technical skills. Ive been lucky in that I’ve always worked in high performing and highly experienced teams within my industry (th cybers), so the need to ‘manage’ people is somewhat moot, but it did teach me a lot about managing and influencing and coaching other less experienced (or unprofessional) teams and stakeholders.
- ghaff 3y agoIt's probably useful to know something about the various macroeconomic theories so you can at least nod knowledgeably :-) But it's not that useful practically. Traditional micro is worth knowing. I was also lucky enough to take a behavioral economics course (before it was called that) and a somewhat related pricing strategy course.
- dotancohen 3y ago> 10 Day MBA Googling I see at least three different books with similar covers but attributed to different authors. Which one should I persue?
- deskamess 3y agoThe list specified the author: The 10 Day MBA by Steven Silbiger
- dotancohen 3y agoTerrific, thank you.
