2021’s best business books reveal the importance of transparency, collaboration, and diversity in the modern corporate world. ‘Right Out in the Open’ by GitLab’s CEO, Sid Sijbrandij and Inc. magazine editor-at-large, Darren Murph, highlights how a company with no physical office has grown into a billion-dollar enterprise. GitLab’s success is attributed to its ‘all-remote’ work culture, which fosters transparency and collaboration.
‘Unleashed: The Unapologetic Leader’s Guide to Empowering Everyone Around You’ by Frances Frei and Anne Morriss, emphasises the role of leadership in empowering teams. The authors believe that leaders should focus on building trust and inclusivity, rather than controlling every aspect of the business.
‘Subtract: The Untapped Science of Less’ by Leidy Klotz underscores the importance of subtraction in problem-solving. Klotz argues that individuals and businesses often overlook subtraction as a solution, opting instead for addition, which can lead to unnecessary complexity.
In ‘Noise: A Flaw in Human Judgment’ by Daniel Kahneman, Olivier Sibony, and Cass R. Sunstein, the authors explore how ‘noise’ or variability in decisions can lead to inconsistent outcomes. They suggest that reducing noise can improve decision-making and fairness in businesses.
Finally, ‘The Double X Economy: The Epic Potential of Women’s Empowerment’ by Linda Scott highlights the economic potential of empowering women. Scott provides evidence that gender equality can lead to significant economic growth.
