Sinossi

"The Ruthless Leader" ist eine Kombination aus drei prägnanten Klassikern: Niccolo Machiavelli's "Der Fürst", Alistair McAlpines "The Servant" und Sun Tzus "Die Kunst des Krieges". Hier lernen Sie, wie sie in einer Geschäftswelt überleben und erfolgreich sind, die geprägt ist von Mißtrauen und Neid, von strategischen Allianzen und Fehlinformation. Während "Der Fürst" und "Die Kunst des Krieges" Anleitungen für den "Herrscher oder Befehlshaber" - den Manager - bereithalten, bietet "The Servant" Informationen für die "Untertanen oder Gehilfen" - die Mitarbeiter.
Alistair McAlpine, ehemaliger Schatzmeister und stellvertretender Vorsitzender der Konservativen Partei, gibt zu jedem Titel eine anschauliche Einführung und spinnt einen roten Faden, der die Gemeinsamkeiten und Gegensätze der drei Titel deutlich werden läßt. Er arbeitet die wichtigsten Erkenntnisse heraus, vergleicht sie unter historischen und thematischen Gesichtspunkten miteinander und stellt sie in einen aktuellen Kontext. "The Ruthless Leader" ist ein zeitloser, raffinierter, humorvoller und eleganter Leitfaden für das Überlebenstraining für "Herrscher/Befehlshaber" und "Untertanen/Gehilfen", oder ganz allgemein für jeden, der sich in der modernen Unternehmenswelt bewegt.

Informazioni sull'autore

Lord McAlpine was, for many years, the director of his family's construction firm, Sir Robert McAlpine & Sons, Ltd.

Dalla quarta di copertina

The Ruthless Leader What could a fifth-century B.C. Chinese general's treatise on military strategy and a fifteenth-century Florentine satirist/philosopher's essay on how to be an effective potentate have in common with advice from a former Treasurer and Deputy Chairman of Margaret Thatcher's Conservative Party? More to the point, what could these texts contain that would be of value to a businessperson trying to get ahead in today's volatile, globalized business world? Quite a bit, as it turns out. The Prince, The Servant, and The Art of War are unrivaled sources for anyone who seeks to understand the elaborate, often brutal, rituals of strategic conduct in any day and age. Each was written by an undeniably perceptive observer of humanity, and each offers unvarnished truths about human nature, especially as it expresses itself in an organization-whether it be political, military, or corporate. In each classic, the author builds on his experiences to develop timeless principles for exploiting human foibles in order to promote one's own self-interest, while at the same time doing what is best for the organizational bottom line. In the introduction to The Ruthless Leader, Alistair McAlpine weaves a thematic thread that connects the important themes common to all the texts in this trilogy. He mines them for their most powerful insights, compares them to one another historically and topically, and places them in a contemporary context that makes it easy for today's readers to understand how they apply to the day-to-day working of a modern business organization. Call them ruthless or simply pragmatic, but these classics comprise an indispensable survival guide for anyone who wants to swim with the sharks without being eaten alive.
