About this title

Synopsis

In the history of the modern company, would-be leaders have often been seduced by the quick-fix, counterfeit side of management in an effort to save face or make short-term gains. Even more often, world-weary "plantation" managers are often seen sipping lemonade on the verandah of their palatial offices while the workers in the field live on slave wages. In this insightful social and business commentary, Shelton applies the artful background of classic literature to contrast ideal leadership with contemporary hucksters who are seduced by their own public relations campaigns and who wade through fraud and deception to manipulate their followers. He invites readers to see beyond the shams and become authentic leaders themselves.
