Leadership Sopranos Style: How To Become A More Effective Boss

Conflicting loyalties. Terminations. A changing culture. New competitive threats.

These phrases describe the challenges facing many of today's successful businesses. They also describe the challenges facing another profitable organisation - television's Soprano family.

Author Debbie Himsel has been exposed to virtually every leadership theory and development methodology. In this book, she makes a clear case that Tony Soprano's management style brilliantly illuminates a new set of leadership principles, and that "underbosses" around the world can learn a great deal from Tony, flaws and all. Himsel shares these principles with the readers, using Tony as a catalyst for understanding the leadership tools and techniques that are necessary to "whack" the competition and win in business.

Chapter highlights include: Who's the Boss: A Simple, Clear and Adaptive Structure, The War for Talent, Give It to My Face: Receiving Feedback, and If Your Organisation Were Part of the Mob.
