The Company

My favorite book these days is The Company: A Short History of a Revolutionary Idea. There are many books out there about various companies (Apple, IBM, Ford, etc.) but no one to my knowledge has pulled back and looked at the history of companies in general. It's a short read (a quality I appreciate more and more as I reach my matron station in life) and was written by two senior editors at the Economist.

I would love to see a book that chronicles the history of managment trends. It might be hillarious to see how we've managed to say the same things about leadership over and over using differnt language. Can you teach leadership? Or do you just get it?
