G10 Glasgow: Must-Reads For 2014’s Entrepreneurs

GLASGOW, UK, December 2013 – G10 Glasgow are huge promoters of positive thinking. However, positive thinking is delusional unless it's based upon a clear understanding of how the business world really works.

Here are G10 Glasgow’s top 10 motivational reads:

10. How to Lie With Statistics

As a weapon, this book gives you vast power over the ignorant masses. Please handle with great care.

Best quote: "A well-wrapped statistic is better than Hitler's 'big lie'; it misleads, yet it cannot be pinned on you."

9. The No Asshole Rule

This book provides suggestions for avoiding and utilizing the inevitable corporate sphincters.

Best quote: "Two-faced backstabbers...who have enough skill and emotional control to save their dirty work for moments when they can't get caught, are tougher to stop--even though they may do as much damage as a raging maniac."

8. The 4-Hour Workweek

Timothy Ferriss asks you to rethink the concept of work.

Best quote: "Alternating periods of activity and rest is necessary to survive, let alone thrive. Capacity, interest, and mental endurance all wax and wane. Plan accordingly."

7. The Peter Principle

Most businesses aspire to create meritocracies where the brightest get promoted while the mediocre get culled out of the company. Unfortunately, there's a downside to this strategy.

Best quote: "Anything that works will be used in progressively more challenging applications until it fails."

6. Crazy Bosses

This classic reveals the narcissism of the powerful psychopaths who've clawed their way to the top.

Best quote: "After nearly 6,000 years of evidence on the subject, one thing stands clear: the people who end up as leaders in any organization, large or small, are often the craziest guys around."

5. 21 Dirty Tricks at Work

Specific advice for thwarting bosses and co-workers attempts to manipulate one another.

Best quote: "Dirty tricks are more than just a career-threatening nuisance; they also form part of the political backdrop to all the great recent organizational scandals."

4. Don't Bring It to Work

Provides suggestions to help workers evolve beyond their emotional limitations.

Best quote: "The reason most organizational programs abort is that they fail to deal with our life patterns, which are at the foundation of workplace anxiety, tension and conflict."

3. Poorly Made in China

The real story behind outsourcing to China.

Best quote: "American companies...were no match for savvy Chinese industrialists who often went out of their way to manipulate product specifications to widen profit margins."

2. The Complete Yes Minister

this book describes how nameless bureaucrats wield the vast power of inertia to frustrate attempts by clueless "leaders" to move organizations in new directions.

Best quote: "It's called 'the law of inverse relevance': the less you intend to do about something, the more you have to keep talking about it."

1. The Dilbert Principle

Still one of the best (and certainly the funniest) business books ever written. Author and cartoonist Scott Adams looks into the very soul of the business world and captures the absurdity of much that takes place there, puncturing every bloated corporate balloon that ever floated past a cubicle.

Best quote: "We're a planet of nearly six billion ninnies living in a civilization that was created by a few thousand amazingly smart deviants.
