Chartered Management Institute Names ‘Best Management Book’

The results are in, the judges have decided, and the votes have been counted. The winner of the Chartered Management Institute’s management book of the year is ‘Managing’ by Henry Mintzberg. I have quite collection of management and leadership books on my shelves, and indeed I you could say I was forming a miniature leadership library. While doing so can be seen to be costly in the long run – the amount of knowledge and inspiration you can attain from having such a collection is invaluable, and doesn’t come close to the relatively low expense.

Having an award to mark the best management and leadership is a very useful tool. In a rather ‘cloudy’ market such as the market for management books, it is difficult to ascertain from a book cover, whether the material inside is unique, like Stephen Warrilow‘s Practioners Masterclass or merely re-hashed content that you’ve read before. On such a specialised topic, there must be a large amount of overlap if over 100 books are published each year alone in the mainstream relating to management.

Therefore I’d like to take the time to thank the Chartered Management Institute for creating not only a category winner for best book, digital book and innovation, but also for selecting a short list of 15 books – which gives anyone looking to buy 3-5 management books per year, a good starting point for browsing!
