“The Lean Startup” is a classic book on entrepreneurship that has helped countless entrepreneurs launch and grow their businesses. Written by Eric Ries, a renowned startup advisor, and entrepreneur, the book lays out a step-by-step method for creating a successful startup.

There will be a lot of information disclosed, including how this monster was created and how to defeat the people who trap these animals. Because seeing the elephant in the room is only the beginning of the search. Read this book if you want to have the best environment for your startup and make your team productive.
