These ‘Unwritten’ Laws have under-pinned success at work for years – but until now they have been available only to a lucky few.
They resurfaced thanks to an internal company document in America that soon found a niche audience among America’s top chief executives. Jack Welch described it as covering ‘almost everything’ and Warren Buffett called it ‘one of the best books I’ve seen’.
But the pamphlet that they admired so much drew heavily from an unusual source – a hidden gem published by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers more than sixty years ago. The Unwritten Laws of Business is an updated version of the original underground phenomenon.
Filled with sage advice and written in a clear, engaging style, it provides wisdom on relating to colleagues and outsiders, the laws of character and personality, personal development and much, much more. It is wise, ethical and insightful, and refreshingly free of business jargon.
Capturing and distilling principles that have stood the test of time, it is useful for anyone, working at any level, in any kind of organisation, anywhere in the world.
