Terry Leahy s management;One to ten 特里利亚的管理之道;听君一席话,胜读十年书; Management in 10 Words. By Terry Leahy. 《管理真言》,作者:特里利亚; Students of management theory have longdebated what constitutes the worst kind of bookthe CEO autobiogaphy or the management tomethat promises to reveal the secrets of business in words of one syllable. But in Managementin 10 Words Sir Terry Leahy, a former boss of Tesco, has performed a remarkable act ofalchemy: combining two dismal forms to produce an excellent booka veritablemanagement page-turner that has interesting things to say about everything from theevolution of British society to the art of transforming huge organisations. 管理学理论学界的学者们一直在对什么造就了最烂的那类管理学书籍的问题争论不休-首席执行官们的自传亦或是那些宣称能用寥寥数语揭露商界秘诀的。不过,在《管理真言》一书中,乐购前首席执行官特里利亚爵士如炼金术师一般令人惊叹地将两种沉闷的形式融合成一本优秀的书-一部对从英国社会的演进到大型组织重整中的艺术等有趣之事无所不谈的著作。 Sir Terry is an example of a type of Briton that is becoming increasingly rare: a working-class boy made good by dint of quick wits and hard work. His Irish father was one of tenchildren. He grew up on a Liverpool housing estate as one of four. A scholarship to a localpublic school and a taste for the grocery business provided him with a ladder up: he startedhis career stacking shelves at Tesco and ended up as CEO for 14 years. |
