Most of us think of leaders as courageous risk takers, orchestrators of major events-in a word, heroes. Yet while such figures are inspiring and admirable, Harvard Business School Professor Joseph Badaracco argues that their larger-than-life accomplishments are simply not what makes the world work. What does, he says, is the sum of millions of small yet consequential decisions that men and women working far from the limelight make every day: how a line worker for a pharmaceutical company responds when he discovers a defect in a product's safety seal; how a manager deals with a valued employee suspected of stealing; how a trader handles a transaction error that will cost a client money.
Badaracco calls them "quiet leaders"-people who choose responsible, behind-the-scenes action over public heroism to resolve tough leadership challenges. These individuals don't fit the stereotype of the bold and gutsy leader, and they don't want to. What they want is to do the "right thing" for their organizations, their coworkers, and themselves-but inconspicuously and without casualties. They do so by being baldly realistic about the complexities of their own motives and those of the dilemmas they face. In today's fast and fluid business world, nothing is as it seems. And they know it.
Drawing from a four-year study of quiet leadership, Badaracco presents eight practical and counterintuitive guidelines for confronting situations in which right and wrong seem like moving targets. Grounding each strategy in an engaging story, he shows how these "non-heroes" succeed by managing their political capital, buying themselves time, bending the rules, and more.
From leaders in the executive suite to aspiring leaders in the office cubicle, Leading Quietly compellingly shows how patient, everyday efforts can add up to a better company and even a better world.

标签:管理,领导力 中庸之道的西方版,原来以为这只是本关于管理的畅销书,在读了前几页后我吃惊地发现,不确定性这个词一再出现在文章里。很受震动。看来当今各领域精英已经把不确定性作为一种最重要的因素来考虑,并以此为最终为决策的最关键依据之一. 作者是彻底的现实主义...
评分越来越觉得应该好好读读毛泽东的矛盾论和辩证法。 在管理的实践中,没有真正唯一正确的标准。所有光辉伟大至高无上的圣人是不存在的。人绝对是善恶的综合体,人的动机也是非常复杂的。因此领导者应该根据具体的情况做出符合当时情况的判断和决策。
评分这本书,是2004年10月2日我在飞机上看的,当时要去外地要让一个人不转正,离职。这本书让我初步了解了管理
评分沉静领导,其实与其说沉静,不如说务实,应为是 Leading Quietly;但是全书都是在讲述西方的厚黑学。 沉静的领导首先就是要“知道自己几斤几两“,即看清楚形势,所谓形势就是自己所处于的位置,比如圈内人还是圈外人,你能够拥有的权利和资源到底是什么。比如那个新上任的CEO...
