Sinopsis

In this collection of first-person accounts from the Harvard Business Review, the 11 contributors describe the hazards and frustrations of trying to be a good manager. From "How I Learned to Let My Workers Lead" and "Reluctant Entrepreneur" to "Nothing Prepared Me to Manage AIDS" and "The Purpose at the Heart of Management, " these essays document the complex and often conflicting responsibilities of the manager: conceiving and implementing strategy; motivating people to do what's best for customers, the business, and themselves; putting themselves in the hot seat of authority while pushing people toward shared responsibility; and developing sensitivity to the needs of subordinates while having the courage to say no. "Unrelentingly compelling...The perfect refutation for anyone who claims a career in business is boring." -- Quality Digest

De la contraportada

First Person presents memorable stories of management achievement as told by the people who lived them. With the authority of personal experience, 12 executives narrate their journeys across the perilous landscape of business leadership. In an array of crises - the illness and death of an employee, the turnaround of a failing factory, the demise of a blue-chip industrial giant - the accounts of these managers reveal the flesh-and-blood drama in common business challenges and their uncommon, often courageous, responses. Drawn from a series of acclaimed essays in the Harvard Business Review, the tales told in First Person bear witness to how difficult management really is. Brilliantly analytic and rigorously self-critical, these are not conventional success stories. Some do not have happy endings, and some do not yet have endings at all. But each details the process of struggle and error leading to insight, and together they provide an invaluable guide to the essence of great management.
