Your Procurement Christmas Booklist

The Christmas holidays are great – plenty of time to relax, see family and relax in front of the fire with a glass of wine and a good book…

If you’re like the team at Procurious HQ, you can’t get enough of procurement, supply chain and leadership related literature, then we’ve compiled a short list for you to add to your bookshelf/Kindle/eReader for the festive period:

• Strategic Sourcing and Category Management: Lessons Learned at IKEA – Magnus Carlsson
• A Quick Guide to Procurement (for non-Procurement people) – John Bowen
• The Procurement and Supply Manager’s Desk Reference – Fred Sollish and John Semanik

• Procurement Mojo – Sigi Osagie (procurement capability)
• The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change – Stephen Covey (change)

• Getting to Yes – Roger Fisher and William Ury (negotiation)
• The Brand You 50 – Tom Peters (personal brand)
• Start with Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action (leadership)

• The Art of Social Media: Power Tips for Power Users – Guy Kawasaki and Peg Fitzpatrick
• Music Rights Without Fights – Richard Kirstein (marketing procurement)
• Who Moved My Cheese – Spencer Johnson (change)
• Winning! – Clive Woodward (leadership)

That should be plenty to keep you occupied when you are looking to escape the mayhem or avoid another couple of hours of dodgy Christmas TV.
