Book recommendations for professional services firms

I was recently approached by a young entrepreneur for advice about launching a professional services business. We had a great conversation, but one of my take-aways was to send him a list of “greatest hits” books on the topic. After some thought, this was the list I put together:

• The Art of Managing Professional Services by Maureen Broderick

• High Output Management by Andrew Grove

• The Great Game of Business by Jack Stack

• Flawless Consulting by Peter Block

• Small Giants by Bo Burlingham

• Traction by Gino Wickman

• The Hard Thing About Hard Things by Ben Horowitz

• Pitch Anything by Oren Klaff

• Resilience by Eric Greitens

If you’d suggest some others, feel free to drop them in the comments below.
