From the publisher

Zwei Spitzenautoren liefern hier eine innovative und inspirierende Analyse der prgenden Momente und Wendepunkte im Leben von Fhrungskrften. Dabei sttzten sie sich auf Originalinterviews mit Personen aus der Geschftswelt, Politik, Wissenschaft und den Schnen Knsten: von Keats bis Gates, von Michael Dell bis Thomas Jefferson, von Henry Ford bis Napoleon. "The Arc of Ambition" ist eine Entdeckungsreise zu den 14 'Moments of Truth', den Augenblicken der Wahrheit, mit denen jede Fhrungskraft im Laufe ihrer Karriere konfrontiert wird. Darber hinaus werden auch einige grundlegende Weisheiten ber die Kunst des Fhrens enthllt, wie z.B. die Fhigkeit, an einem Traum festzuhalten und ihn Realitt werden zu lassen, zu wissen, wann es Zeit ist fr Vernderungen, oder wann es an der Zeit ist, das Kommando abzugeben.
Dieses Buch soll eine neue Generation von Fhrungskrften inspirieren, die sich den Widersprchen und dem Konkurrenzdruck stellen, die die komplexe Beziehung zwischen dem Einzelnen und dem Unternehmen mit sich bringt. Eine unverzichtbare Lektre fr jede aufstrebende Fhrungskraft.

From the rear cover

"I love this book for at least two big reasons. First, it is original, the first graphic definition of the role of ambition, not only for leadership but for success in life. The second, and related, genius of this book is the range of leaders and high flyers the authors discuss, from Michael Dell to Thomas Jefferson, from Henry Ford to Napoleon. Essential reading for aspiring leaders, from senior executives to undergraduates." Warren Bennis, Distinguished Professor of Business, University of Southern California, and co-author of Organizing Genius and Co-Leaders.
