12 books we have read

More than 200 professional and business publications are in the public domain at the Plarium studio in Krasnodar. They are divided into categories: artbooks, art, marketing, management, programming and copywriting. What is most in demand? Books on management. But not only managers take them: in this category there is a lot of literature for self-development, books about stress tolerance, time management, etc.

The preferences of our employees are easy to explain. Most of the guys come to work with us with a decent amount of knowledge and developed hard skills. They read highly specialized books in their time, and now they are sitting on specialized sites.

You might think that the library simply does not have the necessary literature, they say that what they buy into it, then the employees read it. But the library is basically formed just on the basis of the wishes of the guys. With a certain frequency, the office manager collects and processes applications from departments, makes a list - and books are purchased. It turns out that the development of soft skills is indeed a priority for many.

If you are aiming for the same, take a look at our selection. We hope you find something to your liking. So, the list of the best management books according to Plarium Krasnodar.
