Synopsis
In this offbeat approach to leadership, college president Steven B. Sample-the man who turned the University of Southern California into one of the most respected and highly rated universities in the country-challenges many conventional teachings on the subject. Here, Sample outlines an iconoclastic style of leadership that flies in the face of current leadership thought, but a style that unquestionably works, nevertheless. Sample urges leaders and aspiring leaders to focus on some key counterintuitive truths. He offers his own down-to-earth, homespun, and often provocative advice on some complex and thoughtful issues. And he provides many practical, if controversial, tactics for successful leadership, suggesting, among other things, that leaders should sometimes compromise their principles, not read everything that comes across their desks, and always put off decisions., Steven Sample ist President der University of Southern California, die kürzlich vom Time Magazine zum besten College Amerikas gekürt wurde. Sample genie t den Ruf eines gefürchteten und abtrünnigen Freidenkers. Darüber hinaus ist er - einzigartig für einen Mann in seiner Position - Inhaber einer Vielzahl von Patenten, auf deren Basis etwa über 200 Millionen Haushaltsgeräte hergestellt wurden. In seinem Buch "The Contrarian's Guide to Leadership" bringt er seine Einstellungen und Erfahrungen ein zum Thema konventionelle Führungsansichten, indem er Führungskräfte (und jene, die es noch werden wollen) dazu auffordert, sich auf einige wichtige, der Intuition zuwiderlaufende Überzeugungen zu konzentrieren. Seine einfache und bisweilen provokante Denkweise reicht bis hin zu einigen sehr komplexen und gut durchdachten Führungsthemen und gipfelt in so ungewöhnlichen Ratschlägen für Führungskräfte, wie z.B. Entscheidungen sollte man immer hinausschieben, man sollte so wenig wie möglich lesen und man sollte bei seinen Prinzipien Kompromissbereitschaft zeigen. In der Fachwelt wird Samples revolutionärer Führungsstil zwar heftig kritisiert, doch seine Erfolge sprechen für sich. "The Contrarian's Guide to Leadership" - Hier lernen Sie, wie auch konträre Ansichten zum gewünschten Erfolg führen., In this offbeat approach to leadership, college president Steven B. Sample-the man who turned the University of Southern California into one of the most respected and highly rated universities in the country-challenges many conventional teachings on the subject., In this provocative new book, Steven Sample, one of the nations most highly regarded university presidents, explodes many romanticized views of leadership and demonstrates how leaders can free themselves from the shackles of conventional wisdom. Never make a decision today that can reasonably be put off to tomorrow. Dont form opinions if you dont have to. Think gray. Shoot your own horse. Dont force others to do your dirty work. The best leaders dont keep up with the popular media and the trades. Machiavelli can help make you a more moral leader. Know what hill you are willing to die on-and keep its exact location to yourself. Know the all important difference between being leader and doing leader. You cant copy your way to the top. "This is an intoxicating read, a bushwackers delight. With swift, sure strokes, Steve Sample cuts down a lot of bad ideas about leadership and opens up a new path for the next generation to follow. No wonder he has turned around not one but two major universities." -- David Gergen , noted commentator, bestselling author, and adviser to four United States Presidents
