Leading Up
How to Lead Your Boss So You Both Win
Crown, 2003
¿De qué se trata?
Brave subordinates can make their organizations better by challenging their leaders.
Recommendation
When leaders lack solutions to challenging problems, they need brave subordinates, clients or vendors who will challenge them and help them think in a fresh way. Wharton Business School professor Michael Useem calls this process “leading up.” He defines “upward leadership” and provides a range of historic examples – some very compelling, others maybe less so – drawn from the worlds of the military, business, politics and religion. getAbstract recommends his in-depth report to leaders and upcoming leaders, especially those who love history.
