New Releases by Warren Bennis

領導學之父華倫．班尼斯的傳世鉅作 出版三十週年，全新經典譯本！ 現代管理學之父彼得．杜拉克讚譽：「這是華倫．班尼斯畢生最重要的一本書！ ☆英國《金融時報》五十大商業好書 ☆全球管理學大師—彼得．杜拉克（Peter Drucker）、湯姆．彼得斯（Tom Peters）、查理斯．韓第（Charles Handy）一致讚譽 ☆領導學永恆經典——成為領導者最需要閱讀的書 ★領導者和管理者，絕對不一樣 《卓越領導者的修練學》以宏大的歷史畫卷探討了領導力、形成與挑戰，透過作者華倫．班尼斯對數十位領導者的深入訪談與研究，討論領導力的方法論：人們如何成為領導者，以及為何有的組織能夠激發領導力，有的卻是阻礙限制，以及你一定要擁有領導的基本要素和個人特質。 華倫．班尼斯說：「領導者做對的事，管理者把事情做對。」然而「做對的事」跟「把事情做對」差異在哪；如果「把事情做對」按照吩咐努力就做得到，那麼要怎麼「做對的事」來顯現自己的價值？ 領導者和管理者之間的最大差異，就是前者能駕馭環境，而後者則是屈服於現狀。 「領導絕非天生，而是出自後天培養。」卓越的領導人知道自己想要的是什麼、為什麼有這樣的目標，以及如何運用有效溝通贏得團隊的合作與支持，且實現願景！而開創如此成就的關鍵是了解自我和駕馭外在世界，而這些都必須從自己的人生和經歷中學習。 事實上，在如今動盪且不確定的世界中，對領導力的呼籲比以往任何時候都更加緊迫。本書為讀者提供重要且永恆的見解，以大量實際案例深入探討定義領導力的特質、體現任何人都能實現領導力的策略，不僅是養成領導能力的絕佳教材，也是個人追求生涯發展的最佳指南。 ★用對方法，累積自己的領導實力！ 被《富比士雜誌》指為「領導先師的長老」的班尼斯，一生思索領導本質與變局之間的關係，一再挖掘膾炙人口的領導經論。並歸納出十大「修練策略」：勇於冒險、改造自己、鍛鍊洞察、收服人心……，例如： ►因應複雜變局的「新學習模式」成長來自冒險，並抓出問題的核心所在。 ►逆境加速成長，鍛鍊領導韌性不糾結自身侷限，專注可能性並成就大事。 ►邏輯與直覺並重的「全腦思考」掌握反思、理解和解決的方案，累積自我觀點。 ►獲得支持，收服人心的關鍵信任是一切基礎，要能使別人站在同個陣線。 儘管每個人都有領導力，卻並非每個人都能成為領導者，尤其是在時下令人困惑且充滿對立的這種環境之下，大多數人都臣服於大環境，而不願意去改變自己、挖掘自身潛力。作者認為，無論年紀或任何環境，雖說人人都有自我改造的能力，但成為領導者是出於自身選擇，唯有當你有意願，才會踏上這條道路。 ★穿越混沌，與世界同步變革的「動態領導」 歷經全球COVID-19疫情影響、國際政經局勢變化與環境壓力湧現時，不要視改變為敵人，相反地要看作是個人成長和拯救組織的契機。唯有改變自己，才能讓帶領的組織重新回到時代的軌道。透過《卓越領導者的修練學》，你將更瞭解如何發揮與世界同步變革的「動態領導」，從科技力量、企業組織再造至建立培育領導者的環境，組織的任務是去開發和充分利用每個員工的潛能，為員工的成長和發展做準備，這才是組織真正使命。 照著書中傳達的方法，打造新未來的十種領導特質，將讓你在混亂局勢中駕馭環境，成就組織的願景、共同價值觀及目標，特質包含有： ►駕馭夢想、容錯與實話願景是清醒夢，領導者的責任就是將願景轉化為現實。 ►利益的平衡利益相關者的需求與平衡，領導者不能迷失在萬花筒般的幻想中。 ►建立戰略聯盟與夥伴關係用放眼全球的目光來看待現實世界。 在實現巨大的成功前，往往會經歷崎嶇坎坷、荊棘密佈的過程，甚至走上錯誤的彎道，或落入無路可走的境地。但藉由本書，將為領導者和想要成為領導者的你標註清晰的實現路徑！ 本書特色 ￭領導學之父華倫．班尼斯最有影響力的一部鉅作。 ￭近代西方領導力思想×10大關鍵策略，成為領導者最需要閱讀的書！ ￭養成領導能力的絕佳教材，也是個人追求生涯發展的最佳指南。 好評讚譽 「跨世代溝通」權威講師｜李河泉 NU PASTA 總經理｜吳家德 KKday營銷長｜黃昭瑛 現代管理學之父｜彼得．杜拉克（Peter Drucker） 商界教皇｜湯姆．彼得斯（Tom Peters） 激勵銷售天王｜哈維．麥凱（Harvey B.

For the first time, a top leadership scholar and a top leadership practitioner explore the true duties, demands, and privileges of leadership. Intellectual sparks flew when Warren Bennis, the “father” of modern leadership studies and Steven B. Sample, one of the most accomplished university presidents in recent history, came together for candid explorations of the forces that shape successful leaders and unsuccessful ones. The Art and Adventure of Leadership, their final collaboration, reveals the profound insights that the authors gained together over the 16 years in which they co-taught one of the most popular leadership courses in America. Here, each brings his own distinct vantage point as they address the mechanics and mysteries of leadership. The result is a unique examination of the journey of great leaders from momentary setbacks to ultimate success. It offers profound lessons on what determines the difference between failure and redemption for leaders. And it illuminates important and overlooked dimensions of great leaders ranging from Winston Churchill to Steve Jobs. Together, they explore why: A mature leader must grasp when it’s healthy to risk failure, and when failure can’t be tolerated at any cost Leadership isn’t for everyone and requires a particular set of skills and competencies that are often glossed over in most management literature To succeed in an uncertain and fast-changing world, a shrewd leader must understand which aspects of human society change—and which aspects never change A mature, wise leader must seek a balance between high-minded ideals and the gritty realities and compromises that leaders face in their daily lives Above all, meaningful leadership remains a matter of character With incredible insight, this book examines why George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and other giants were able to recover from failures, learn resilience, and prepare themselves for their moments of destiny. In so doing, it demonstrates and helps cultivate the leadership skills that you need to create your own most meaningful legacy. The Art and Adventure of Leadership is a unique look at leadership, and a critical resource for the leaders of tomorrow.

Warren Bennis has become synonymous with leadership, exploring all its dimensions as both practitioner and scholar for over four decades. Managing the Dream is an intimate portrait of leadership, comprising over a dozen essays that represent the author's most incisive and creative thinking. It features many of Bennis's most recent works, including "The End of Leadership," and a new preface reflecting on the challenge of leadership in the new millennium.

Cats of course, won't be herded. And the most successful organizations in the 21st Century won't be managed -- they'll be led. The answer to America's current leadership crisis is leaders (not managers) who recognize that "the only capital that really counts is human capital" And whether readers are looking for a leader or looking to be a better one, Warren knows what it takes. In answer to the leadership crisis, Bennis offers insight into developing leaders and their competencies, by explaining ten traits of dynamic leaders, and how these leaders constantly reinvent themselves. The 21st century will require leaders who can inspire and orchestrate change rather than impose it or simply react to it. The section on "Leading Change" will, in itself, make this a must-have book.

Authentic Leadership provides a framework for leaders to understand their purpose in leading, from a seasoned CEO who has truly been there. It focuses on the crucibles of experience through which leaders come to know who they are and solidify what they stand for. It speaks to leaders who want to lead with heart and compassion for those they serve. Purpose, values, relationships, self-discipline, and heart -- these are the five qualities George develops in the book.
