What You'll Never Learn on the Internet
What You'll Never Learn on the Internet
Mark H. McCormackHarperCollins BusinessISBN 0-00653206-3£7.99Keywords: Skills, Internet
This book is a follow-on from the successful What They Don't Teach You at Harvard Business School. If you read that, then you will know what to expect.
Of course, Mark McCormack (when did he start using that "H"?) is a very successful business; he has at least the benefit of his own, considerable experience to offer up as his credibility. He is certainly forthright and supremely confident, and deals in certainties.
The central message here is about the importance of human contact and relationships; the reference to the Internet is because this is an area that tends to be light on developing people skills.
This is no theoretical treatise: it is a book of small but important lessons, ably and amusingly presented. The ideas and issues come thick and fast, and sometimes one has to stop and think, and reflect, to get the full benefit.
At the end, you will almost certainly have enjoyed it – and you will almost as certainly have learned something from it … And I said that he was a man of certainties!
