内容简介 Publisher Comments:
A book of inspirational wisdom from the author of Elizabeth I CEO and Patton on Leadership-lessons in leadership, courage, and responsibility..
Alongside Winston Churchill, Franklin Roosevelt stands as one of the greatest leaders of the twentieth century. Elected president four times, he inspired and motivated the nation during the Depression and through World War II, all the while battling a debilitating physical ailment. Now Alan Axelrod, author of the bestselling leadership guides Elizabeth I CEO and Patton on Leadership, distills FDR's life into fourteen leadership themes: Purpose and Principle; Change; Self-Interest and Self-Sacrifice; Confidence and Courage; and more. Among the many FDR maxims featured:
1.If you treat people right they will treat you right-90 percent of the time.
2.It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.
3.The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today.
4.When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on.
Nothing to Fear is sure to be an inspirational and oft-cited volume for leaders-in the business world and beyond.
Synopsis:
Axelrod, author of the bestselling leadership guides "Elizabeth I CEO" and "Patton on Leadership, " distills Franklin Delano Roosevelt's life into 14 leadership themes: Purpose and Principle; Change; Self-Interest and Self-Sacrifice; Confidence and Courage; and more.
From Publishers Weekly
In his latest management book, Axelrod (Elizabeth I, CEO; Patton on Leadership; Profiles in Leadership; Everything I Know About Business I Learned from Monopoly) looks at "a revealing model of leadership values, ideas, skills, traits, tactics, and strategies." It's certainly a timely subject, considering the business and world political climates. Organizing his portrait around 14 themes (including purpose and principle; credibility; change; motivation; and confidence and courage), Axelrod focuses on the language of leadership, using quotes showcasing Roosevelt's "abundant gifts of eloquent self-expression" to launch chapters on particular (and often redundant) components of leadership. Although the messages themselves are straightforward (e.g., speak the truth; inspire rather than coerce), Axelrod examines them through a scholarly microscope and unfortunately lacks the verbal charisma of his mentor (e.g., he calls the September 11 terror attacks a "rendezvous with destiny"). Still, FDR junkies may want to add this compilation of his business savvy to their collections.
