I came across three business book recommendations on LinkedIn, and I have to say, they were absolutely spot on:
Extreme Ownership:
A fascinating backstory of the Iraq War, especially if you’ve ever wondered how a special operations unit (in this case, the US Navy SEALs) actually operates. The title of the book captures its core message: Extreme Ownership. Building on that, the book explains several strategies and ways of thinking used by the SEALs and applies them to business. Ownership is something you can internalize, whether you’re an employee, a team lead, or a founder.
Radical Candor:
My first management book, and I really like how self-contained it is. It’s almost like a how-to guide to management for people without much prior knowledge. The approach of “care personally+challenge directly” doesn’t seem easy to implement, but if you manage to make it work, it promises a lot.
Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion:
I’ve seen this one in an S+ tier reading ranking before, and it definitely lives up to the expectations. It explains some really powerful, practical principles of human psychology, using memorable metaphors and applying them well to money, business, and everyday life. Really good!
