No manager worth her weight should be allowed to manage people, projects or businesses without a fundamental understanding of the teachings of Peter Drucker, The Man Who Invented Management.

Long and slightly dry at times, but unparalleled in insight, depth and breadth.
The late Peter F. Drucker is a must-read author for any studious manager, and this specific title is one of his most recent (updated by a colleague and published in 2008) and broadest in scope.
Note: While the audio book is reportedly abridged, it is about 20 hours in length, so the abridgment should be very minimal.
