DECEMBER'S FC READERS' CHOICE AWARD

Bestseller lists? Forget them. We want to highlight the books that really matter, and we want your help. Here's how to play Book Club, Fast Company style:

  1. Purchase and read the FC Readers' Choice Award picked by you, our readers.
  2. Discuss the book with other readers in our online discussions or at a Fast Company Book Club Meetup event -- or start your own face-to-face discussion group.
  3. Vote for next month's book. We'll give you 5 choices that align with our mission: to help you work smarter and lead better. Browse the excerpts and vote for your favorite.

Dilbert it's not--and that's part of the charm of Gray Matters: The Workplace Survival Guide, Fast Company readers' first choice as Book of the Month. It's a comic book and a cheeky guide through the wilds of the organizational jungle. But it's also constructive. Its lessons seem perfectly timed at a moment when the only business constant is constant change.
