Most management books are dull, making readers want to fall asleep. Even if we manage to read one cover to cover, it’s only because we feel obligated to study it—not because we enjoy it. So, even if I ever considered writing a book, it would only be to show off. Personally, I’d rather spend time gardening than writing.
