I highly recommend reading "What Got You Here Won't Get You There" by Marshall Goldsmith. It was recommended to all students at Tepper by our leadership center. I'm going through it now and I recommend it for anyone who is going to be managing people.

Although not a book, I think the article "Search Funds: Death and the Afterlife" (Kessler, 2012) is well worth a read. It's a thought-provoking article that examines a number of unsuccessful acquisitions in detail.
