what great HR might look like
This is a 416 page book about how Google handles their HR function, but this does include extensive footnotes etc.I really enjoyed it, although you might not buy into everything, it is set out clearly, persuasively, in a fun and balanced way. My main problem with the book was that it was so relentlessly upbeat and positive, that I felt the need for something a bit more acerbic to balance out the syrupy sentiments. Accordingly I read this as a double act with Throwing Rocks at the Google Bus, and found it an engaging and informative duo.Clearly not everyone will want to read a book of this length about human resources management, but there is a wealth of insight and innovation here demonstrating that HR need not be the dismal cul de sac where nice but useless folk end up.

Actual content on the processes and projects of Google - nice
Fun to read, large amount of content on actual processes and projects inside the company, not too much self-promotion or bloviating - or repetition. Practical for a small business mindset as well as for those interested in the company's specific strategies.

Bock rules
Audiobook. Gosh the author is a businessman and has read his own book brilliantly. Full marks. Stimulatng content and challenging thinking. Just the odd moment when I think 'he surely can't mean that...' but he does.
