The McKinsey Way by Ethan M. Rasiel

I've come across this book by the stroke of luck. The book is all about how McKinsey consultants are trained think and solve management problems on a daily basis. To me the book strikes out from the other very "technical" and "theory only" books on management because the McKinsey consultants are proven to be top management consultant and strategists consulting in many fortune 500 companies and governments globally. Most important of all, you don't need a PhD to be a top strategist think tank, all you need is training. The McKinsey way provides an insight in how the McKinsey consultants are trained to think and solve problems. The book provide a methodology and most importantly how to impress your boss with some critical thinking skills. This book is a sure bargain as it also provides some idea on how to conduct effective brainstorming sessions and this is very critical when it involves top management and some secrets on selling your solution.

At 178 pages thick, the information provided is concise and it should be when you are busy with your daily life and can only spend 15 minutes to read. This is a very considerately designed book - it beats out any academic journals with unimpressive quotations that lead to another article which is not in the journal itself (talk about reader friendly - no wonder some of those academicians are in a world of their own)
