The Ten Golden Rules of Leadership ─ Classical Wisdom for Modern Leaders

Soupios and Mourdoukoutas present readers with their examination of classical philosophy as it applies to leadership, engaging the work of Aristotle, Heraclitus, Sophocles, Hesiod and a variety of other classical thinkers. The authors have organized their text around their titular ten golden rules, each based around the work of one philosopher. Each chapter begins with a quote, revealing a “rule,” before it dives into the leadership applications of that rule, concluding with a handy list of tips. The authors are both faculty members of Long Island University, New York. Annotation c2014 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
