Authentic leadership is more than just the sum of your skills and experience. It comes from inside, and requires the cultivation of a personal philosophy that carefully examines the nuances and complexities of life. If you want to transform yourself into an inspired leader--one capable of taking your organization and people to new heights--who better to look to for guidance than some of the greatest thinkers in history?
Exploring the writings of classical figures such as Thales, Plato, Aristotle, and Hesiod, The Ten Golden Rules of Leadership emphasizes the critical difference between genuine leadership and mere administration. Bridging the gap between timeless wisdom and modern business, the book examines ten crucial axioms of leadership, including:
Know Thyself. Understanding your inner world, and your personal strengths and weaknesses, is a fundamental precondition necessary for true and lasting leadership.
Nurture Community in the Workplace. Exceptional leaders provide the right support, guidance, and incentives to sustain an environment conducive to greatness.
Let Competition Reveal Talent. Harness the forces of competition constructively to release the ingenuity and creativity of your employees toward the pursuit of your corporate goals and objectives.
Always Embrace the Truth. Encourage candid criticism throughout your organization, be skeptical of flattering appraisals, and never let authority place a wedge between yourself and reality.
The qualities and practices of outstanding leaders have remained constant since civilization began. This book is an invaluable source of insight and vision that will help you become the leader you are meant to be.

All great leaders have a personal philosophy: a broad view of the human condition that informs every decision they make and their relationship with the organization and people they lead. Your philosophy is what allows you as a leader to access the kind of deeper, broader insights that result in extraordinary achievements. It is what sets you apart from those who simply "run" companies. To develop and articulate a sound corporate vision--and then follow through on it--you must develop an inner clarity, a ripened personal perspective.
The Ten Golden Rules of Leadership explores thought-provoking ideas from Aristotle, Heraclitus, Sophocles, Hesiod, and other classical thinkers, and introduces essential leadership truths, including:
Live life by a higher code * Do not waste energy on things you cannot change * Understand that character is destiny * Always evaluate information with a critical eye * Never underestimate the power of personal integrity
The book shows you how to apply each idea to the challenges of the modern workplace and combine it with what you discover about yourself as you delve into your own strengths and weaknesses. You'll develop your own ability to see The Big Picture, connect with members of your organization, foster a meaningful and productive work environment, and steer your corporate ship through any challenge.
Skills and experience might land you a leadership position . . . but they don't make you a true leader. This unique and enlightening guide arms you with eye-opening leadership principles that have stood the test of time.
