商品描述

This book provides a unique introduction for business leaders to the philosophical lexicon of classical and contemporary ideas--for and against--that are relevant to business and those destined to lead it. Rather than presenting the reader with a 'philosophy of leadership' the author uses his experiences in academia and as a leader in business to illustrate the practical application of philosophical ideas and methodologies covering the art and science of being a business leader: motivating stakeholders to deliver the initial phase of a business plan for a new product or service; processing information (and risky 'hidden-information') that brings the company vision into reality; and ethically managing relationships to enhance the quality of decision-making and its outcomes. Creative aspiration, knowledge and ethical character are the three pillars of leadership. Within that construct, this book challenges leaders to seek their own path to self-development inspired by ideas that shape the ecology of capitalism and the opportunities it provides stakeholders to endow meaning and dignity to their lives through their participation in business.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書為商業領袖提供了一個獨特的介紹,涵蓋了與商業及其未來領導者相關的古典與當代思想的哲學詞彙,無論是支持還是反對。作者並未向讀者呈現一種「領導哲學」,而是利用他在學術界及商業領域的領導經驗,來說明哲學思想和方法論的實際應用,涵蓋成為商業領袖的藝術與科學:激勵利益相關者推動新產品或服務的商業計畫初期階段;處理資訊(以及風險較高的「隱藏資訊」),使公司願景變為現實;以及倫理地管理關係,以提升決策質量及其結果。創造性的抱負、知識和倫理品格是領導的三大支柱。在這一框架下,本書挑戰領導者尋找自己的自我發展之路,並受到塑造資本主義生態的思想啟發,讓利益相關者透過參與商業賦予他們的生活意義和尊嚴。
