Great book for the manager or teacher of management. Lots of excellent stories that are practical and useful in learning how to be a better manager, particularly related to HR.

4Lessons by Which to Live
By Every1sMom
The information in this book applies not only HR managers, but to many peoples' work atmospheres, volunteer situations, and to everyday life as well. It can help cut down on the drama one experiences in dealing with others. Chapters are organized to be succinct, with specific real-life examples and ways to go about implementing the remedy. The circumstances presented are those an HR manager is trained to handle but to which one may become jaded after repeated infractions, rendering the solutions ineffective. If you have "got a minute", pick up the book and review what could be more of a longterm, win-win situation.

5Got a Minute?
By Agurcsik
I just finished this book and not only did it make me laugh out loud, it gave practicial ideas on how to solve everyday HR issues (and some not so ordinary HR issues). This is a must read book for those entering into the field of HR as it will provide them with scenarios they simply can only learn on the job!
