This book integrates several perspectives on leadership and people management, including those of real-life leaders, business commentators, management consultants and academics - with a fourth dimension: what we've already known about effective leadership and people management throughout the ages, and yet seem to have to 'reinvent' with each new generation. The book also synthesizes materials from more than 700 books, articles, professional journals, newspapers and websites. What appears here represents a distillation of the best practical ideas about leadership and people management of recent times, condensed into a form that busy managers and professionals can assimilate and make immediate use of at work, in large, medium-sized or small organizations, and in the public or private sector.

本书整合了关于领导力和人员管理的若干观点，包括现实生活中的领导者、商业评论家、管理顾问和学者的观点--其中有第四个维度：古往今来，我们对有效的领导力和人员管理已经有所了解，但似乎又不得不在每一个新时代进行 "重塑"。本书还综合了700多本书籍、文章、专业期刊、报纸和网站的资料。书中的内容代表了近代以来关于领导力和人员管理的最佳实践理念，浓缩成一种形式，让忙碌的管理者和专业人士在工作中，在大、中、小型组织中，在公共或私人部门中都能吸收并立即使用。
