Beschreibung

A commemorative edition of the landmark book from Patrick Lencioni When it was published ten years ago, The Five Temptations of a CEO was like no other business book that came before. Highly sought-after management consultant Patrick Lencioni deftly told the tale of a young CEO who, facing his first annual board review, knows he is failing, but doesn't know why. Refreshingly original and utterly compelling, this razor-sharp novelette plus self-assessment (written to be read in one sitting) serves as a timeless and potent reminder that success as a leader can come down to practicing a few simple behaviors that are painfully difficult for each of us to master. Any executive can learn how to recognize the mistakes that leaders can make and how to avoid them. The lessons in The Five Temptations of a CEO, are as relevant today as ever, and this special anniversary edition celebrates ten years of inspiration and enlightenment with a brand-new introduction and reflections from Lencioni on new challenges in business and leadership that have arisen in the past ten years.

About the Author

Advance praise for the first edition ofThe Five Temptations of a CEO

“A must-read for all leaders, not just CEOs. Take it from someone who has been tempted. Better than a personal coach.”

—Boyd Clarke, president and CEO, The Tom Peters Group

“Pat Lencioni delivers a provocative message: CEOs mainly have themselves to blame when things go wrong. If you’re a CEO (or any manager for that matter), do you have the courage to face the blame? Doing so could change your future—for the better.”

—Dr. Jerry Porras, coauthor, Built to Last; professor Stanford School of Business

“A truly enjoyable story. I found myself immediately trying to decide whether I had fallen victim to the temptations. I think most executives will be able to recognize parts of themselves in this well-written, enlightened book!”
