Résumé

"This book is important because it may be the first serious effort toward demonstrating that effective leadership results from the relationships between leaders and followers, from those that are collusively damaging, to those that are collaboratively enriching. To say that this is a brilliant, breakthrough book is an under-statement of its significance."
Warren Bennis, Distinguished Professor of Business Administration, University of Southern California and coauthor of Geeks and Geezers: How Era, Values and Defining Moments Shape Leaders "In today's world it is refreshing to read a business book in which the authors discuss a thought-provoking topic in a straightforward and instructive manner. Retaining and developing all of the talent in our company is imperative, and Manzoni and Barsoux clearly point to an area that we all need to explore and develop."
Jeffrey A. Joerres, Chairman, President, and CEO, Manpower Inc. This book addresses a real problem that each and every boss faces, has faced, or will face: "How do I get better performance from my subordinates, particularly those in whom I have limited confidence and whose abilities I do not trust as much?"The sad reality is that once people are miscast as weaker performers, they tend to live down to that image, regardless of their capabilities. So we start our investigation by elucidating how bosses can trigger and remain blind to a dynamic that is hurting them, their people and their companies... and then how they can interrupt and avoid the cycle all together.
