A Case of the Mondays
Ever wonder how to combine meaning and work? Ever feel like a rebel in your own company? Have you looked at other companies and thought 'Why can't we innovate like them?' Join your host, Chris Thierfelder and his guests from all corners of the business world to discuss these ideas and more each Monday through the summer. Spend a little extra time in the car with us, and maybe you'll learn something new, or maybe you'll just have a reason not to step in to that cubicle on time. A thoughtful business podcast for thoughtful business people.
A Case of the Mondays
Talkin' Book-Readin!
Today, Chris talks about the state of Leadership and Management books and why despite their being a lot of books, there isn't a lot of readily-useful ones. He gives his short stack of nonfiction books for new- and middle-managers to read, and gets in to a discussion about Severance by Ling Ma, the Mondaypod Manager's Book Club Pick of February.
