I can highly recommend "Don’t Make Me Think!" to all software engineers regardless of their specialization.

Agreed. I really enjoyed that one as well, helps put great perspective on the software we build.

Read books by people who have done something akin to what you are trying to do, or failing that, have been successful at doing properly hard things.

Unless you are in the business of writing self help books I'm not sure reading the books of people whose sole success is writing self help books is what you need.

Hm... a cynical statement, made in a sweeping, generalized manner without any sort of statistical evidence or scientific backing.

Looks like we found the MBA (:
