    Shape-full readings

    I am not the best reader.

    As a matter of fact, I find must readings redundant and long.

    Nevetheless, I like the main idea some books try to transmit.

    Some of them are:


    • Focus on results: The Goal - E. Goldratt
    • Take care of the whole: The Fifth Discipline -P. Senge
    • Manage teams: Gung Ho! - K. Blanchard
    • Compete to win: The Art of War - Sun Tzu (http://www.chinapage.com/sunzi-e.html)
    This is a quote from the Art of War:

    By means of these seven considerations I can forecast victory or defeat.

    (1) Which of the two sovereigns is imbued with the Moral law?
    (2) Which of the two generals has most ability?
    (3) With whom lie the advantages derived from Heaven and Earth?
    (4) On which side is discipline most rigorously enforced?
    (5) Which army is stronger?
    (6) On which side are officers and men more highly trained?
    (7) In which army is there the greater constancy both in reward and punishment?
