One of the world's most influential living management
thinkers, Charles Handy has year-after-year been listed
alongside business gurus including Peter Drucker and Tom
Peters in the prestigious Thinkers 50 list. His views on
management -- and life -- have inspired and enlightened
others for decades. Now, in Myself and Other More Important
Matters, the bestselling author of books including The Age
of Unreason shares his special brand of wisdom, giving
readers uncommon insight into business and careers...as well
as the choices we all have to make in our lives. Handy draws on the lessons of his own experience to help
readers move beyond the facts they learned in business
school and reflect on their own individual management style.
With the "philosophical elegance and eloquence" Warren
Bennis has described as his trademark, Handy discusses how
one should develop one’s career goals in line with personal
values and sense of ethics. Handy entertainingly recounts
what he’s discovered along his own international journey:
from lessons his father taught him growing up in Ireland…to
what he learned in Borneo in his days working for Royal
Dutch Shell… to Italy, where he bought and fixed up an old
house in Tuscany…all the way to America, where recent
corporate scandals have shaken our understanding of what is
ethical and acceptable. Throughout the book, Handy asks us to look at the role of
work in our life, and what we truly find fulfilling. It is
hard to imagine a better or wiser guide to work -- and
life’s -- big questions.
