Steve Seymour, Director of MBA programs, Ashridge, recommends:

The Inner Game of Work by W. Timothy Gallwey

“Not a new book [except on Kindle] but one too few people know about. I am a big fan of his sport related books - in particular the Inner Game of Golf - which deal with the mental rather than physical approaches to sport and this does something similar related to work. It is a book which offers advice relevant not only to work, but to life in general. Definitely worth a read.”

Chinese Leadership by Harold Chee and Barbara Wang

“This book gets to the heart of how things are done in China and sets out the context and practical approaches that managers working with the Chinese need to understand. It is designed to help managers understand a completely different cultural mindset. The book provides an insight into how to stay competitive when operating in the Chinese market, or when dealing with Chinese companies and managers.”

Art of Action by Stephen Bungay

“This must-read provides managers with a way of overcoming the barriers to doing what they need to do to achieve success in the complex, unpredictable environment of modern business.”
