REVOLUTIONARY MANAGEMENT: JOHN ADAMS ON LEADERSHIP
Book ID/图书代码： 05170007B17214
English Summary/英文概要： From the Inside Flap
John Adams did not hesitate to lead his countrymen into revolution, but when other advocates of American independence devoted themselves solely to tearing down British tyranny, Adams kept asking, “Then what?” Asking—and answering—this question was for him the key to managing revolutionary change successfully, for the present and for the ages.
A prime mover and architect of American independence, collaborator in the creation of America’s first army as well as founder of the U. S. Navy, John Adams negotiated the foreign finance that made the Revolution possible, then he negotiated the treaties that ended it in absolute victory.
A steward of justice and liberty, Adams was instrumental in building a government of laws, not men. He believed that power drove all people, all nations, and all enterprises, and that the purpose of good government was to manage power—not by attempting to deny or suppress it, but by using one power to balance another. This was the art and science of revolutionary management.
Adams’s concept of revolution was always less about radical change than about achieving just and effective sustainability, and it is for this reason that his experience offers to those who lead and manage modern enterprises such rich, relevant, and immediately useful lessons. For the more a business changes and must respond to change—the more revolutionary a business must become—the more effectively its leaders must answer Adams controlling question: Then what?”
Drawing on the latest scholarship as well as Adams’s own autobiographical writings, Revolutionary Management: John Adams on Leadership presents 128 lessons for today’s leaders of enterprise. It is written in the spirit and style of Dr. Alan Axelrod’s innovative bestsellers Patton on Leadership (hailed by leaders ranging from the New York Yankees’ George Steinbrenner to Warner-Lambert chairman and CEO Melvin R. Goodes) and Elizabeth I, CEO (which has earned praise from former Colorado congresswoman Patricia Schroeder and Chas. Levy Company board chairman Barbara Levy Kipper.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 约翰•亚当斯毫不犹豫地带领同胞投入了革命。但当美国独立的其他倡导者全身心地投入抵制英国霸权的活动中时，亚当斯不断地问道，“之后我们该做些什么？”这个问题是革命成功的原因，也是古往今来的领导者们必须学会的成功的秘诀。
约翰•亚当斯是美国独立的发起者和践行者，是美国首支陆军的合作创立者，也是美国海军的创立者。约翰•亚当斯协商得来的外来资金使得革命成为可能，最后他以绝对的胜利签署了条约。
约翰•亚当斯就像是正义和自由的管家，致力于建设以法律为准绳，而不是听凭管理者的政府。他相信权力可以驾驭所有人，所有国家，所有企业，好的政府不应否认或压制权力，而应该是驾驭它，用另外一种权力平衡它。这便是革命性管理方法的艺术了。
亚当斯对于革命的理念其目的是获得公平而有效的稳定，而不是激进的改变，他的这些经历也使现代企业的管理者们能从中受益。一个企业能应对多大的改变，取决于管理者们能多有效地回答亚当不断对自己提出的，“之后我们该做些什么？”
结合了现代学者最新的理念以及约翰•亚当斯的自传，《革命性的管理方法：约翰•亚当斯论领导方法》为现代的企业领导者们提供了128堂行之有效的课程。此书的精神和风格都类似艾伦•艾斯勒的另一本畅销书《巴顿将军论领导方法》，此书受到了很多企业家的赞誉。（XAT）
