Saari: Aki Hintsa – voittamisen anatomia 

Voittamisen anatomia on uskottava F1-, work-life balance- ja self-help -kirja. Jopa niin hyvä, että saattaisin lukea sen uudestaan. Oskari Saari on taitavasti yhdistänyt oman F1-toimittajan ammattitaidon sekä "haamukirjoittajan" roolin.

Jack Welch: Winning 

Winning is easy to read and remember. Even inspiring. There is no threshold in Welch’s key messages. He has great insights on how run a global giant and he also recognizes that people are people.

Peters & Waterman: In Search of Excellence 

The book is needed to understand the basics of a large corporation. It's also beneficial to learn how the current management theory has evolved from works of Peter Drucker to Jim Collins. This a "back to basics" kind of book. The modern corporation has all or should have all these features by now that Peters and Waterman are explaining.

Hamel & Prahalad: Competing for the Future 

The book builds a great insight into core competencies, but time has done it job. The book is also very focused on products. It does not undermine the customer value, but still the greatest emphasis is on products. In today’s leadership agenda big emphasis merely on products would have demoralizing effect, because we have just learned ways to work with customers and their needs. Competing for the future is pro experiments and cultural change, but main emphasis is on products.

Surowiecki: The Wisdom of Crowds 

James Surowiecki is "merely" a staff writer at the New Yorker. My expectations were fairly low not because of the writers profession, but the topic seemed so self-evident. I was wrong; the book has intelligence and deep understanding of human nature.

Peter Drucker: The Effective Executive 

Peter Drucker is king of listing things. It all starts with his main messages. He has two main messages on how to become the effective executive. To become effective the executive needs to do certain simple things. And to learn how to become the effective executive. "All the effective ones have had to learn to be effective", because effectiveness is not inborn.

Chip Heath & Dan Heath: Made to Stick 

“Made to Stick” is about ideas and how to design ideas. It's a handbook of ideas. Chip and Dan Heath are showing how to design an idea that sticks. And it all starts right from the first pages when they start with a surprisingly bold story. Which will stick.

Taleb: Skin in the Game 

For Taleb skin in the game is about justice, honor and sacrifice. Things that that are existential for humans. Core of the book is rationality and risk bearing. Rationality resides in what you do and it is about survival. Rationality is also risk management.

Doz & Wilson: Ringtone 

This book is like a detective story and you don't know when or where does the crime take in place. Bearing in mind that "Nokia's success in mobile phones was neither the fruit of a repeatable recipe, nor an accident". Due to that reason the Ringtone is somehow a dull book to read, because I was certain that the research team would have found a repeatable recipe - The Nokia Way.

Esko Valtaoja: Avoin tie – kurkistus tulevaisuuteen 

Valtaoja haukkuu status quota "himmeäksi ideaksi". Se on ihmiskunnan kohtalokkain aate. Kirja toivoo - suorastaan vaatii, jokaista meistä muuttamaan sekä muuttumaan. Vaikka henkisesti kaipaamme status quota, niin todellisuudessa emme sitä tarvitse. Muutos on ainoa asia mitä tarvitsemme.
