On Leadership: Lessons for the 21st Century

內容簡介

內容簡介 托尼·布萊爾最新鉅作，探討領導藝術與科學「引人入勝、富有見解、激發思考」——《觀察家報》「這是一篇關於領導的迷人論述……我很高興布萊爾寫了這本書。它將吸引任何對治理藝術感興趣的人，即使只是在抽象層面。」——尼古拉·斯特金，《衛報》Tony Blair's major new book on the art and science of leadership_______________________________'Engaging, insightful, provocative' Observer'A fascinating treatise on leadership . . . I am glad Blair has written it. It will fascinate anyone interested in the art of governing, even in the abstract' Nicola Sturgeon, Guardian'Filled with ideas and insight for every reader' i__________________________________Tony Blair learnt the precepts of governing the hard way: by leading a country for over ten years. In that time he came to understand that there are certain key characteristics of successful government that he wished he had known about when he started.Now he has written the manual on political leadership that he would have wanted when he first took office in 1997, sharing the insights he has gained from his personal experience and from observing other world leaders at first hand, both while he was prime minister and since, through his Institute’s work with political leaders and governments globally.Written in short, pithy chapters, packed with examples drawn from all forms of political systems from around the world, the book answers the key questions: How should a leader organise the centre of government and their office? How should they prioritise and develop the right plan and hire the right personnel, cope with unforeseen events and crises, and balance short-term wins with longterm structural change? What’s the best way to deal with an obstructive or inert bureaucracy, to attract investment, to reform healthcare or education, and to ensure security for the citizen? And how should governments harness the massive opportunities of the 21st-century technological revolution?This is a masterclass on leadership in general, and political leadership in particular, from a master statesman.

各界推薦 ReviewThe book is engaging, insightful, provocative and derisive of “place-holder” leaders who lack the grit to be “a change-maker” -- Andrew Rawnsley ― ObserverA fascinating treatise on leadership . . . The best bits of the book – and they are genuinely very good – are the passages offering advice on how to cope with the personal burdens of leadership, from dealing with the pressures of social media, to developing a hinterland, avoiding hubris, and knowing when to leave the stage . . . There is much to learn from On Leadership, and I am glad Blair has written it. It will fascinate anyone interested in the art of governing, even in the abstract – and represents a good investment of time for anyone in or aspiring to political leadership. -- Nicola Sturgeon ― Guardian‘Tantalising, fascinating and insightful . . . worth reading if you want to understand why some governments and political movements succeed and others fail.’ -- Isabel Hardman ― i news‘[Blair’s] institute has given him a perspective no other leading British politician can rival . . . The result is a profoundly non-insular analysis . . . full of practical advice . . . Useful and timely . . . [Blair] is a deeply thoughtful, highly experienced and self-critical man who deserves to be taken seriously by anyone interested in how democratic power is effectively wielded.’ -- Andrew Marr ― The New StatesmanFilled with ideas and insight for every reader. ― i
