内容説明
This book talks about the leadership strategies behind one of the most popular presidents in history. How the Commander-in-Chief commands George W. Bush has surprised even his harshest critics with his leadership talents and discipline. As this country's first MBA president, Bush formed his unique leadership style managing businesses, not government offices. "Team Bush" is the first book to explore these unique methods and tactics he has employed to become one of the nation's most popular commanders in chief in recent history. From "hiring" the most diverse and effective cabinets in history, to dealing with the crisis and war sparked by the events of September 11th, this compelling leadership book takes readers into the mind and methods of America's 43rd president, and shows managers how these methods can be used to boost productivity in their own organizations. This fast-paced book pulls no punches as it showcases President Bush's successes and strengths while detailing his mistakes and weaknesses.
Focusing on the actual events and outcomes of Bush's first two years in office, it discusses: the strategy behind Bush's coup in the mid-term election; lessons learned from his managing of the September 11th crisis; and how Bush recognizes and learns from his very public mistakes.

- This book explores the management style, tactics and leadership strategies of America's 43rd president. For many years, beltway insiders and main street Washington watchers have complained about the way the country was run. "We need to manage the country more like a business" they argued. Then comes George W. Bush, the first MBA president (MBA Harvard), who has garnered incredible approval ratings as he and his team face crisis after crisis. Despite the fact that Bush is not as articulate as his predecessor, he is a deceptively complex leader. This book explores these paradoxes in the larger context of his leadership methods. There are many aspects to President Bush and his administration that has won over even sceptical detractors. This work focuses on these specific leadership traits and tactics and how he has managed the administration and the government. Examples include: how he "hired" the most capable cabinet of any administration in decades
- what managers could learn from the Bush team
- the disciplined chief executive - Bush's broad strategy of imposing discipline on the government
- how he communicates a clear and cohesive message - how he gets the administration to speak with one voice, regardless of the media's attempt to create dissonance
- managing in crisis - Bush at his best
- how he managed the September 11 crisis and what lessons managers can learn from his decisive actions
- results-based leadership - Bush has brought "a performance-based approach to the federal government on a grand scale
- navigating tricks and traps - in addition September 11 and the war, there have been several other crisis, from the Middle East to current crisis in corporate America - this book examines what he right and what he did wrong
- learning from blunders - clearly Bush has made several blunders - Kettl examines what can be learnt from them. In summary, this is a fast-paced book that shows any manager what they can learn from the way George Bush has headed his administration, showcasing his successes and strengths but also discusses his mistakes and weaknesses.
