HBR’s 10 Must Reads on Managing Yourself, Vol. 2

Personal effectiveness receives the same scrutiny here that these collections usually reserve for strategy or operations. This second volume on managing yourself gathers articles on locating a sense of purpose, developing emotional agility, deciding well under pressure, collaborating without burning out, and keeping a career in motion. A bonus piece, Be Your Own Best Advocate, comes from Deborah M. Kolb and deals with making one's contribution visible at work. The advice stays practical and rests on research rather than anecdote, and the short article format makes it easy to return to a single idea once it becomes relevant. Useful to know: • The second volume in the Managing Yourself collection • Bonus article Be Your Own Best Advocate by Deborah M. Kolb • Material on emotional agility and decision making • Guidance on collaborating without burnout Written for professionals, managers and students building their careers, available at Boipoka.
