A Hand book for working professionals

This book is a classic example of having corporate handbook. While it details out perspectives from the McKinsey point of view but is it applicable for anyone who reads it. From behavioural change to the work approach changes, this book gives deep insights on what is done, could be altered and what is followed in the organisation which has produced CEOs for many organisations.
