Warriors, Rebels, and Saints: The Art of Leadership from Machiavelli to Malcolm X
從馬基雅維利到麥爾坎的領導藝術
內容介紹
莫希克·特姆金 (Moshik Temkin)在《從馬基雅維利到麥爾坎的領導藝術》書中提到「最優秀的領袖不僅僅是戰士、叛軍和聖者。他們通常也是偉大的教師。他們不僅僅是做事,而且向人們解釋世界是如何運作的,他們生活的現實是什麼,我們來自哪裡,並說出真相:也就是說,他們教授真實的,而不是虛假的歷史。」(The best leaders are not only warriors, rebels, and saints. They are usually great teachers. They not only do things, but they explain to people how the world works, the reality they are living in, and where we come from, and they speak the truth: that is, they teach real, not fake, history)
莫希克·特姆金從歷史中挑出幾個代表性人物,像是鐵娘子柴契爾夫人(Margaret Thatcher)、金恩博士(Martin Luther King)、麥爾坎(Malcolm X)等知名領導者來討論他們留給世人的影響。
柴契爾夫人看似保守,但她大刀闊斧把公共事業私有化、強調金融領域自由化某種程度形塑了當日的國際金融發展,她在英國是非常兩極化的領導人物,喜歡她的人很喜歡,恨她的人恨之入骨。金恩博士和麥爾坎雖然同樣是美國黑人民權運動的領袖,但兩人的主張截然不同。金恩參考甘地非暴力運動並發表舉世聞名的演講《我有一個夢》而麥爾坎則是鼓舞美國黑人「黑人權力至上」、「暴力革命推翻美國虛偽的白人統治」。

領袖塑造歷史還是歷史造就領袖?《從馬基雅維利到麥爾坎的領導藝術》一書深入探討我們如何定義、尋求和成為領袖。
我們生活在一個危機四伏的時期,需要領導者。無論在美國和不同國家,似乎沒資格和不負責任的人被提升到權力中心,強人和獨裁者正在加強對人民的控制,人民正在失去未來會變美好的信心。這個世界是怎麼走到這一步的? 我們如何能導正我們正在前進的方向?
在過去的十年裡,作者莫希克·特姆金 (Moshik Temkin)在哈佛大學及全球各地不斷的拋出問題讓他的學生去思考上面的問題,讓學生探討領導力的本質,莫希克·特姆金也因為“歷史中的領導者和領導力”的課程極受歡迎。現在透過《從馬基雅維利到麥爾坎的領導藝術》這一本書,莫希克·特姆金把他課堂上的內容帶給更多的讀者。
透過藝術、電影和文學來說明歷史如何戲劇化,莫希克·特姆金帶著讀者去看歷史中的領導者如何在最困難的情況下做出決策,比方1930年代大蕭條到多明尼加總統的獨裁統治,從20世紀的反殖民戰爭到民權運動。
在今日大家渴望良好領導者的世界中,我們如何評估過去那些領導決策並從中吸取今日能應用的教訓。

"This book is that rare thing among ‘leadership’ titles: a truly original concept...[A]n incredibly well-researched and lively read."―The Financial Times
“A plea for the importance of history in the study of leadership.”―Kirkus
“Moshik Temkin brings together deep historical knowledge, cultural comparison, and sophisticated analysis of what makes leadership, and how individual leaders both reflect their society and shape it in turn. This is a book both empathetic and gripping on a subject of huge importance in our turbulent times.”―Rana Mitter, author of Forgotten Ally: China's World War II, 1937-45
“Ranging across the centuries and around the globe, Moshik Temkin engages questions about leadership that could not be more timely. In exploring how history both produces and constrains leaders, he offers a thoroughly engaging meditation on a compelling array of individuals who shaped the eras in which they lived. The result is a fascinating, illuminating and cautionary meditation on leadership.”―Ellen Fitzpatrick, author of The Highest Glass Ceiling: Women's Quest for the American Presidency
“In this gem of a book, the accomplished historian and teacher Moshik Temkin performs the crucial task of placing the art of leadership in its historical context. The result is a book chockfull of insights, showing how a careful and unsparing study of past leaders—those who had great power and those who didn’t—can help us identify the attributes we need to see in their successors today.”―Fredrik Logevall, Laurence D. Belfer Professor of International Affairs, Harvard University
