by James A. Champy; Nitin Nohria (Joint Author)

From the publisher

Zwei Spitzenautoren liefern hier eine innovative und inspirierende Analyse der prgenden Momente und Wendepunkte im Leben von Fhrungskrften. Dabei sttzten sie sich auf Originalinterviews mit Personen aus der Geschftswelt, Politik, Wissenschaft und den Schnen Knsten: 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 Fhrungskraft im Laufe ihrer Karriere konfrontiert wird. Darber hinaus werden auch einige grundlegende Weisheiten ber die Kunst des Fhrens enthllt, wie z.B. die Fhigkeit, an einem Traum festzuhalten und ihn Realitt werden zu lassen, zu wissen, wann es Zeit ist fr Vernderungen, oder wann es an der Zeit ist, das Kommando abzugeben.
Dieses Buch soll eine neue Generation von Fhrungskrften inspirieren, die sich den Widersprchen und dem Konkurrenzdruck stellen, die die komplexe Beziehung zwischen dem Einzelnen und dem Unternehmen mit sich bringt. Eine unverzichtbare Lektre fr jede aufstrebende Fhrungskraft.

First line

THIS BOOK IS AIMED at all those who dream of achieving greatness in any field.

From the rear cover

"I love this book for at least two big reasons. First, it is original, the first graphic definition of the role of ambition, not only for leadership but for success in life. The second, and related, genius of this book is the range of leaders and high flyers the authors discuss, from Michael Dell to Thomas Jefferson, from Henry Ford to Napoleon. Essential reading for aspiring leaders, from senior executives to undergraduates." Warren Bennis, Distinguished Professor of Business, University of Southern California, and co-author of Organizing Genius and Co-Leaders.
What drives some individuals to accomplish spectacular achievements, to fulfill aspirations beyond anyone's wildest expectations and make a lasting impression upon the people and institutions around them? For internationally renowned management experts, Jim Champy and Nitin Nohria, the key ingredient is ambition. Everyone has a dream, but very few have the courage and persistence to fulfill it. The Arc of Ambition takes us on a journey through the creative process that tranforms dreams into reality. Showcasing the life-changing experiences of dozens of contemporary and historical figures from the worlds of business, politics, science, and the arts, The Arc of Ambition is an inspirational and practical guide to harnessing your ambition in order to live up to your highest potential and leave a legacy of accomplishment.

Description:
John Wiley & Sons, 2000. Paperback. Used: Acceptable. 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… Read More
