Fiction to Function - What Fictional Leaders Can Teach Real Managers

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Every leader has met Michael Scott. Not the man. The instinct. Ted Lasso believed in people before they'd earned it, and it worked. Logan Roy trusted no one, ever, and that worked too - until it very much didn't. Miranda Bailey enforced a standard nobody else would touch. Jean-Luc Picard led a crew of specialists without ever needing to be the smartest person in the room. Fiction doesn't invent leadership. It amplifies it - takes the instincts that take real managers a decade to reveal themselves and turns them up until you can't miss them in a single scene. Lead Like Nobody's Watching is a field guide to eighteen fictional leaders - the exemplars and the cautionary tales in equal measure - and what they reveal about the job of managing actual human beings under real constraints: limited time, imperfect information, a boss of your own, a target you didn't set. Inside, you'll find: - Why Ted Lasso's belief-driven culture works, and exactly where it runs out of road - The management style hiding inside Logan Roy's family dinners, and how to spot the muted version of it on your own team - What Miranda Bailey gets right that most "direct" managers get wrong - A chapter on why the culture at Lumon Industries should make you deeply uncomfortable - and why it might already look familiar - A final chapter asking what would happen if these eighteen leaders had to learn from each other's blind spots This isn't a book that tells you to be Ted Lasso or avoid being Logan Roy. It's smaller and harder than that: a set of sharper mirrors, aimed at the version of these patterns you're already living - on either side of the desk. From the author of Like Putting Roller Skates on a Hippo.
