Management Books

Background reading on management and business issues is another way of enhancing ones skills in the workplace.  There are many good books available and each one will give you practical hints, tips and pearls of wisdom which you will find useful.  In fact we provide appropriate management booklets as part of our course handouts as we believe they reinforce the learning points from our practical courses. 

Over the years each of us here at MDP have built up our own little reference library of useful booklets which from time to time we refer to.  They have proved their worth time and time again when, for example, we want to either refresh our memory about a particular point or to remind ourselves about important steps when embarking on a new project.

The gratifying point about the books we have acquired over the years is that they are still available  which means the learning points still hold good today!  A lot of the books are written in a style that makes them ideal reading whilst travelling by plane or train or even whilst sunbathing on some exotic beach (how sad is that!)

We have listed (in no particular order) just a few that we have found useful and you may want to consider reading:
