In the wake of continuing corporate scandals there have been few， if any， CEOs that have stepped forward as models of "doing things right"—except the former chairman and CEO of Medtronic， Bill George. George has become the unofficial spokesperson for responsible leadership—in business， the media， and academia.　In Authentic Leadership Bill George makes the case that we do need new leaders， not just new laws， to bring us out of the current corporate crisis. He persuasively demonstrates that authentic leaders of mission-driven companies will create far greater shareholder value than financially oriented companies. During George's twelve-year leadership at Medtronic， the company's market capitalization soared from $1.1 billion to $460 billion， averaging 35% per year.　George candidly recounts many of the toughest challenges he encountered ： from ethical dilemmas and battles with the FDA to his own development as a leader. He shows how to develop the five essential dimensions of authentic leaders—purpose， values， heart， relationships， and self-discipline. Authentic Leadership offers inspiring lessons to all who want to lead with heart and with compassion for those they serve.　Bill George helps readers answer vital questions such as： What should I do when my personal values conflict with company business values？ How do I make trade-offs between the needs of my customers， my employees， and my company's shareholders？ Do I really want to devote my talents to business？ Authentic Leadership provides a tested guide for character-based leaders and all those who have a stake in the integrity and success of our corporations.

在中国传统文化典籍中，《易经》*挑战性，因为它不是以知识作为讨论对象，而是以智能作为思维的中心。知识会受到时空的限制，智慧却具有永恒的性质；知识是智能的基础，智能却是知识的升华。《易经》在中国传统文化中的地位能得以长期保持，理由便在于此。现代的组织，无论是政府组织，社会组织或工商组织，都必然有一领导者或领导班子。领导者的能力有高低之分，其中的分野不单源于其专业知识，还得视其有无领导的智慧，能否在掌握时空的条件下，采取适当的行动以促进组织的稳定发展。本书首先详细解释了《易经》的基本概念（太极，阴阳，五行）及其在管理学上的应用，然后剖析整体、乾坤、中道几个重要观念。对《易经》的核心思想──刚柔相济观，则逐卦分析其在六十四卦中的意义，并阐述《易经》中倡议如和合、凝聚、进展、退避等观念的卦象和爻辞，总结出一种具《易经》智能的领导模式，使《易经》的智慧能得到充分的发挥。本书实为组织领导者一本不可多得的开拓思维空间的参考书。

Casey McDaniel had never been so nervous in his life.　In just ten minutes， The Meeting， as it would forever be known， would begin.Casey had every reason to believe that his performance over the next two hours would determine the fate of his career， his financial future， and the company he had built from scratch.　“How could my life have unraveled so quickly？” he wondered.　In his latest page-turning work of business fiction， best-selling author Patrick Lencioni provides readers with another powerful and thought-provoking book， this one centered around a cure for the most painful yet underestimated problem of modern business： bad meetings.And what he suggests is both simple and revolutionary.　Casey McDaniel， the founder and CEO of Yip Software， is in the midst of a problem he created， but one he doesn’t know how to solve.And he doesn’t know where or who to turn to for advice.His staff can’t help him; they’re as dumbfounded as he is by their tortuous meetings.　Then an unlikely advisor， Will Peterson， enters Casey’s world.When he proposes an unconventional， even radical， approach to solving the meeting problem， Casey is just desperate enough to listen.　As in his other books， Lencioni provides a framework for his groundbreaking model， and makes it applicable to the real world.Death by Meeting is nothing short of a blueprint for leaders who want to eliminate waste and frustration among their teams， and create environments of engagement and passion.
