HBR at 100 (Book Review)

HBR at 100: The Most Influential and Innovative Articles from Harvard Business Review's First Century

The inaugural issue of HBR (Harvard Business Review) magazine was published in 1922. This book is a compilation of the most enduring ideas and widely read pieces of HBR magazine in its first 100 years. You'll find 30 interesting articles on a diverse range of subjects like climate change, strategy, disruption, innovation, marketing, design, artificial intelligence, leadership, emotional intelligence, and several other areas that have great potential to add value to your work, as well as outlook in life.

This book is a definitive read for leaders across functions and domains. In the business world or otherwise, everything is connected and one needs to read diverse subjects to form informed perspectives at the workplace. Books like these are curated to deliver only the best ideas and it's a great way to catch up for both readers and not-so avid readers. I found some articles to be timeless, coupled with practical and actionable advice.

Here are five articles that really resonated with me.

1) Strategic Intent (Gary Hamel & C.K. Prahalad)

2) Managing Oneself (Peter F. Drucker)

3) Nine Things Successful People do Differently (Heidi Grant)

4) The Power of Small Wins (Teresa M. Amabile & Steven J. Kramer)

5) What Makes a Leader (Daniel Goleman)
