The Cult of the Leader wins CMI Business Book of the Year
I was at the British Library Conference Centre last week for the CMI Management Book of the Year 2012 awards. This was the second year it’s been running, masterminded by Piers Cain, Head of Knowledge Management at the Chartered Management Institute.
There were a 200 or so movers and shakers from the world of publishing. We heard a lot from the judges, but nothing from the winners, which was a pity.
Management titles can be a little dull and worthy, but the competition did make an effort to pick out the most accessible and colourful titles.
The ‘Commuter Read Category’ caught my eye. It was won by James Reed and Paul G Stoltz for their book Put Your Mindset to Work: The One Asset you Really Need to Win and Keep the Job you Love.
I had a chat with Andy Milligan whose book Bold: how to be brave in business and win won best e-book. The Practical Manager category winner and overall winner (see picture above) was Christopher Bones, author of The Cult of the Leader.
You can find out all the back ground to the competition by going to the CMI Management Book of the Year website.
