 First
published 60 years ago as The Unwritten Laws of Engineering, this
book has sold over 100,000 copies. Fully revised for business readers
today, here are but a few of the gems you’ll find in this little-known
business classic:
-
The
individual who says nothing is usually credited with having nothing
to say.
-
Martyrdom
only rarely makes heroes, and in the business world, such heroes and
martyrs alike often find themselves unemployed.
-
If
you have no intention of listening to, considering, and perhaps
using, someone’s opinion, don’t ask for it.
-
The
common belief that everyone can do anything if they just try hard
enough is a formula for inefficiency at best and for complete
failure at worst.
Whether
you’re a corporate neophyte or seasoned manager, this charming book
reveals everything you need to know about the “unwritten” laws of
business.
