Download or read book Machiavelli on Management written by Gerald R. Griffin and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1991-03-06 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries, Niccolo Machiavelli has been deemed the supreme thinker about survival in the world of politics, but a careful analysis of his writings shows that he was also the ultimate organizational person. He advised the princes of his day to be goal setters, to set reachable objectives, and to let nothing stand in their way in achieving those objectives. In this work, Gerald R. Griffin formulates a contemporary business perspective drawn from Machiavelli's true principles of management, which are as valid and useful today as they were in Machiavelli's time. In so doing, he provides a guidebook for managers and aspiring managers that teaches them about the nature of power and how to use it effectively. Working from the premise that power itself is neutral, and is only made good or bad by the way it is used, Griffin challenges the modern view of participative management as an end in itself. In 26 chapters, he examines a wide variety of management topics and draws upon the wisdom of Machiavelli to provide guidance in using power to deal with these situations. Using pertinent quotations from the philosopher's works, and setting them into a contemporary business context, Griffin directs the reader toward management techniques as recommended by Machiavelli and proved successful over hundreds of years. Among the topics covered are types of organizations; building, maintaining, and losing empires; motivating subordinates; being loved or feared as a manager; and gaining and using a reputation. For each management problem or situation, he thoroughly discusses and focuses on the practical techniques for advancing in any organization. The work also includes a quick reference guide to key Machiavellian ideas as they apply to business and management, as well as a Machiavellian IQ test to measure the reader's Machiavellian tendencies. This book will be an indispensable guide for anyone currently involved or planning to be involved in management, and a useful resource for college courses in business and management. Public and academic libraries will also find it to be a valuable addition to their collections.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Machiavelli lives. 500 years after Niccolò Machiavelli has written 'The Prince', this classic of the mechanisms behind success in management has not lost its relevance.

It is a fresh approach that combines theoretical analysis with a practical focus. Dealing with a wide range of essential management topics like careers, success, intellect, decision-making, trust, change management, knowledge management, mergers and acquisitions, networking, sustainability, business ethics, working processes and many others, this book proves that the basics of management have hardly changed over half a millennium.

Download or read book How Ike Led written by Susan Eisenhower and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2020-08-11 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How Dwight D. Eisenhower led America through a transformational time—by a DC policy strategist, security expert and his granddaughter. Few people have made decisions as momentous as Eisenhower, nor has one person had to make such a varied range of them. From D-Day to Little Rock, from the Korean War to Cold War crises, from the Red Scare to the Missile Gap controversies, Ike was able to give our country eight years of peace and prosperity by relying on a core set of principles. These were informed by his heritage and upbringing, as well as his strong character and his personal discipline, but he also avoided making himself the center of things. He was a man of judgment, and steadying force. He sought national unity, by pursuing a course he called the "Middle Way" that tried to make winners on both sides of any issue. Ike was a strategic, not an operational leader, who relied on a rigorous pursuit of the facts for decision-making. His talent for envisioning a whole, especially in the context of the long game, and his ability to see causes and various consequences, explains his success as Allied Commander and as President. After making a decision, he made himself accountable for it, recognizing that personal responsibility is the bedrock of sound principles. Susan Eisenhower's How Ike Led shows us not just what a great American did, but why—and what we can learn from him today.

Download or read book Machiavellian Management A Chief Executive s Guide written by Malcolm Coxall and published by Malcolm Coxall, Cornelio Books. This book was released on 2012-12-10 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on Machiavelli's "The Prince", this modernisation describes what modern capitalists need to know to be able to get and hold onto corporate power. Following in Machiavelli's steps, this new "chief executive's guide" leads us through all the important skills recommended in acquiring, defending and extending control over your organisation. It deals with many of the subjects which confront the modern executive every day: managing hatred, contempt, and opposition, eliminating your enemies, successful deceit, cruelty, compassion, corporate independence, opportunism, self-reliance, useful management expedients, managing managers and employees, taking and ignoring advice, using influence and the application of brutality. The book seeks to shed some light into the darker corners of the reasoning used by the powerful "corporate princes" of our own generation, in the same way that Machiavelli attempted to enlighten the dark world of power that maintained the ruthless Borgia and Medici families in the 15th century.

Download or read book Management and Machiavelli written by Antony Jay and published by Prentice Hall Press. This book was released on 1994 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anthony Jay shows you how the new science of management is a continuation of the old art of government. By looking at your own corporate organization in a political/historical context, you can fully understand its power structure - what Machiavelli wrote about statecraft in the sixteenth century holds true for business and management in the late twentieth century. Applying Machiavellian precepts to such modern corporations as General Motors, Apple Computer, and Microsoft, Jay discovers self-contained states with courtiers and diplomats, orthodoxy and heresy lurking under their smooth corporate veneers. Though humorous, Jay's message is clear. To understand the workings of corporation or states, you must understand the nature and behavior of their leaders. And that hasn't changed since the Middle Ages.
Download or read book Machiavelli on Business written by Niccolò Machiavelli and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2015-01-27 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Business Lessons from the Renaissance Master of Gaining and Maintaining Power Generally considered the father of modern political science—and political ethics in particular—Niccolò di Bernardo dei Machiavelli was a Renaissance Italian writer, philosopher, humanist, historian, politician, and diplomat. After his career in politics had ended, Machiavelli wrote a short treatise that is often considered his masterpiece but was not published until five years after his death. The Prince contains adages regarding politics, in particular, providing advice for gaining and maintaining power. While Machiavelli was writing primarily about political power, his philosophies have been adopted by business leaders and titans of industry—presidents, CEOs, entrepreneurs, and innovators—ever since. Also including excerpts from The Art of War, Discourses on Livy, and Machiavelli’s other works, Machiavelli on Business explores such ideas as: Whether it’s better for a leader to be feared or loved How to best keep subordinates content The necessity of breaking promises at times Projecting the right qualities and fostering appearances Turning obstacles into opportunities Taking advantage of crises And much more!
