The best book I have read [out of probably 100+] on management is "The Effective Executive" by Drucker.

The book is pretty thin and was written mid-last century but still holds it's value versus all else we have now.

In addition to providing a framework and mindset on how to become an effective executive, the book also explains why/how it's possible to have shitty people be great CEOs and vice versa - because being effective has nothing to do with personal qualities [nice, kind, mean, etc].

I recommend reading this book to anyone who would like to become a better executive or who would like to better understand the other side of truth.
