Zwei Spitzenautoren liefern hier eine innovative und inspirierende Analyse der pr�genden Momente und Wendepunkte im Leben von F�hrungskr�ften. Dabei st�tzten sie sich auf Originalinterviews mit Personen aus der Gesch�ftswelt, Politik, Wissenschaft und den Sch�nen K�nsten: von Keats bis Gates, von Michael Dell bis Thomas Jefferson, von Henry Ford bis Napoleon. "The Arc of Ambition" ist eine Entdeckungsreise zu den 14 'Moments of Truth', den Augenblicken der Wahrheit, mit denen jede F�hrungskraft im Laufe ihrer Karriere konfrontiert wird. Dar�ber hinaus werden auch einige grundlegende Weisheiten �ber die Kunst des F�hrens enth�llt, wie z.B. die F�higkeit, an einem Traum festzuhalten und ihn Realit�t werden zu lassen, zu wissen, wann es Zeit ist f�r Ver�nderungen, oder wann es an der Zeit ist, das Kommando abzugeben. Dieses Buch soll eine neue Generation von F�hrungskr�ften inspirieren, die sich den Widerspr�chen und dem Konkurrenzdruck stellen, die die komplexe Beziehung zwischen dem Einzelnen und dem Unternehmen mit sich bringt. Eine unverzichtbare Lekt�re f�r jede aufstrebende F�hrungskraft.

Seller's Description:
Used: Acceptable. Size: 21.8 x 13.6 x 2.2 cm; Review Nearly everyone aspires to something wealth, fame, happiness. But a few people aspire to changing an entire paradigm, the way the Wright Brothers did when they invented a glider with an engine, the way Nelson Mandela did when he endured decades of imprisonment to see his nation transformed, the way Thomas Jefferson did when he doubled the territory of the young US by purchasing the Louisiana Territory from France for less than three cents an acre. All seem like obvious ideas in retrospect, but in fact all appeared quixotic at the time, as wrongheaded as the alchemy that had been attempted for 300 years without ever succeeding in turning a base metal into gold. In Arc of Ambition, authors James Champy (Reengineering Management, Reengineering the Corporation) and Nitin Nohria see these visionaries as creators, but also recognise two other species of genius: capitalisers, who take great ideas and create great businesses or social movements from them; and consolidators, who lead these businesses or movements into maturity. All three types have the titular "arc of ambition". That is, they start with a great idea, realise it, cope with the success of it (the chapter on overreaching and squandering opportunity includes the cautionary tales of Newt Gingrich and Bill Clinton), and decide when and how to turn the product of their imagination over to others. Ultimately, The Arc of Ambition is the entire history of the modern world, of its politics and technology and art. Everything we know and either cherish or loathe starts as someone's ambition, and ends when the product of someone else's ambition becomes the dominant model. It's an interesting and entertaining way to organise the world, to look at the facts with new eyes. In that sense, the authors display the fruits of ambition even as they explain them.
