Below are the top ten books that I recommend for “understanding organisations”.
They are all about how organisations work beneath the surface. How do they operate, what are the structures and sometimes invisible patterns that govern them?
I have read & own all of these books – let me know if you have any questions on them.
What are your favourite books on the topic? I’d love to hear from you.
