AESOP AND THE CEO BY DAVID NOONAN - ESOPO E IL MANAGER DI DAVID NOONAN






AESOP AND THE CEO By DAVID NOONAN



The ancient fables of Aesop provide the backdrop for 50 significant lessons from the greatest business leaders of our day. It is easy to be overwhelmed by the sheer volume of business books flooding the market today. Even more daunting is the task of weeding through them to find the "golden nugget" of wisdom inside. Now David Noonan has simplified the process by providing this well-researched primer of the most essential advice from the greatest business books ever written. Further, in a clever melding of modern business sense and ancient wisdom, he has used the animal-based stories of Aesop as springboards to launch these 50 lessons. Both entertaining and informative, Aesop & the CEO includes advice from well-known leaders such as Peter Drucker, Bill Gates, Rudy Giuliani, Lee Iacocca, Estee Lauder, Donald Trump, Sam Walton, and Oprah Winfrey, to name a few. The short, easy-to-read vignettes cover every aspect of corporate life: negotiations, hiring and firing, mergers and acquisitions, product development, marketing and sales, and day-to-day management.

The world of business has changed enormously since Aesop's time, but people haven't. As the corporate culture cries out for strong, ethical leadership, this book confirms that integrity, reliability, honesty, and respect continue to be as essential to a business's long-term survival as a strong bottom line.

ESOPO E IL MANAGER di DAVID NOONAN

Il lupo e l’agnello, La volpe e l’uva, Il leone e il delfino: brevissime e ironiche, le favole di Esopo parlano di animali per indicare agli uomini come comportarsi in modo appropriato, e vivere meglio.

In questo libro l’autore ne ripropone una cinquantina, evidenziandone la forte attualità in chiave aziendale.

Ogni favola è abbinata alle esperienze di organizzazioni contemporanee: racconti in ambito di business, ma anche di politica, spettacolo e sport (con protagonisti come Jack Welch, Bill Gates, Donald Trump, Rudolph Giuliani, i Beatles…).

Da ciascun racconto emerge una morale d’impresa, rafforzata dal pensiero dei più importanti “guru” del management (Peter Drucker, Tom Peters, Michael Porter e molti altri).

Tutti i personaggi, uomini e animali, studiosi e imprenditori, contribuiscono a gettare una nuova luce sui diversi aspetti della vita aziendale – dal management alla leadership, dalla strategia alle risorse umane al marketing – in un libro di agile lettura, ironico, pragmatico e intelligente che dimostra come, comportandosi secondo una certa etica, si guadagna anche a livello economico e di successo.
