People often ask me for a book recommendation when it comes to employee management. It took me a while to find it, but The Carrot Principle (by Adrian Gostick and Chester Elton) is a well-written New York Times bestseller that covers all the management basics in a clever and succinct manner.

One more book recommendation for the road. Love 'Em Or Lose 'Em (by Beverly Kaye and Sharon Jordan-Evans) provides an honest, no-nonsense approach to employee retention. I highly recommend the audiobook version.
