Nine Lies About Work

这本书最锋利的地方，不在于教你如何做好管理，而在于系统地质疑那些被奉为常识的管理信条。它把'你需要反馈''企业文化决定成败''战略目标必不可少'这些职场人默认的信条逐一拆解，指出它们未必成立，甚至有害。尤其值得玩味的是，它提出许多通行的管理方法，与其说提升了效率，不如说是为了让高层更'管制'员工——这一判断在读者中引发强烈共鸣，也招致'立靶子再打靶'的质疑。书中聚焦基层主管如何带好团队、助成员成长，而非高层战略。它适合两类人：一类是想给老板'安利'的管理者，一类是对'企业黑话'疲惫、渴望看清权力运作逻辑的普通员工。当然，也有人觉得它老生常谈、配方熟悉。是否值得读，取决于你愿不愿意重新审视自己习以为常的工作信条。
