Still Relevant
This is pre-internet book on management that came highly recommended and I found that I really enjoyed it. Leavitt's tackles a lack of focus long before the internet stole what focus was left. I found his comments that managment often doesn't overtly decide but often meanders into a decision fits exactly with what I see in many clients. The book is short, the writting is a bit formal, more like Drucker than Tom Peters and it was nice to read a management book with nary a mention of Apple or Google even though the thoughts are still relevant.
