12 Essential books recommended by talent industry titans

We asked six global influencers in the people and work space to share their top must-read book recommendations for 2022.

HR and talent management professionals have had a lot to deal with in 2022 especially the urgency to meet shifting business priorities and employee needs in the wake of unforeseen developments, from the Russian invasion of Ukraine to the collapse of the cryptocurrency market.  

As we approach the new year, HR and business leaders must invigorate themselves with fresh fervour and a perspicacious vision with the aim of making the world of work better for all. Having said that, there is no playbook for HR and business leaders — their role is broader and deeper than ever before. Those who consistently seek to learn, adapt, and grow as they navigate the complexities and uncertainties of the VUCA world will emerge as successful leaders.

The 12 must-read books we compiled here, as recommended by some of the world's most respected authorities including Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic, Dave Ulrich, Ruth McGill, Jeff Schwartz, Kate Barker, and Josh Bersin will help you make sense of the new dynamics of work, workplace and the workforce and lead effectively in a rapidly evolving ecosystem.

So, be sure to add them to your reading list.
