Thinking in Systems

by Donella Meadows · 2008

Complex problems rarely come from a single cause; they emerge from interactions, feedback loops, incentives and system structures.

Principles

by Ray Dalio · 2017

Better decisions come from turning experience into explicit principles and using them as repeatable decision-making systems.

The Innovator's Dilemma

by Clayton Christensen · 1997

Successful companies can become vulnerable because the practices that make them successful today can prevent them from responding to disruptive technologies tomorrow.

Good to Great

by Jim Collins · 2001

Long-term organizational excellence tends to come from disciplined people, disciplined thinking and disciplined execution rather than spectacular short-term decisions.

Zero to One

by Peter Thiel & Blake Masters · 2014

A good book about building businesses that are genuinely different rather than merely better than the competition. Some of Thiel's views are stated more absolutely than they deserve, but it is valuable for thinking about monopoly, innovation and competitive advantage.

The Lean Startup

by Eric Ries · 2011

Build–Measure–Learn is still one of the most useful frameworks for building a product. Its strength is that it insists on learning from the market instead of guessing — though it doesn't fit every business equally well.

The Wealth of Nations

by Adam Smith · 1776

More than an economics book — one of the foundational texts for understanding markets, the division of labour, productivity and the formation of the modern economy. Reading it in full is not easy, but its historical and intellectual value is immense.
