Nobody in Charge
Essays on the Future of Leadership
"The latest book from one of the wisest men of our time!" "Most books on leadership are written by people who themselves haven't led anything. This book is written by one of the most effective executives who, from a very early age, has for a half-century provided outstanding leadership in American government, higher education, and business." "A rare, readable blend of exceptional experience, wisdom, and wit ¾ for those perplexed about the present or concerned about the future, especially those with responsibility for others." "We have entered a new and different world-richly interconnected and radically multicentric-in which the traditional holders of power have to move over and make room for new stakeholders, new players, and new leaders of many kinds. Nobody in Charge, drawing on the learnings of a wise and widely experienced public executive, offers some priceless insights into how things have changed, where they are now, and where we may be going next in this bewildering terrain."

“…uses exceptional experience as the basis for relevant, reflective, insights – by a remarkable man…” (Long Range Planning, Vol. 37, 2004)
Harlan Cleveland ist einer der letzten großen Denker im Geiste eines Peter Drucker oder Warren Bennis, der die dramatischen Veränderungen in Bereich Leadership und Management hautnah miterlebt hat.
Mit seinen 83 Jahren verfügt er über die Weisheit des Alters, den Vorteil großer Erfahrung und über einen scharfen Verstand.
"Nobody in Charge" besteht aus einer Reihe wichtiger Schriften Clevelands zum Thema Leadership.
In diesem Band überträgt er seine Ansichten zur Unternehmensführung auf heutige Verhältnisse.
Jeder seiner Aufsätze konzentriert sich dabei auf eine ganz besonders faszinierende Erkenntnis rund um das Thema Leadership - teils persönlicher, teils professioneller und teils organisatorischer Art.
Eine moderne Lektüre zu einem aktuellen Thema: Cleveland geht weit über die Management-Tricks von heute (und gestern) hinaus und bietet statt dessen eine neue, erfrischende Definition von Leadership.
